Summary
David Anthony Burke facing severe state-level charges in the death of Celeste Rivas. He has not been formally charged with federal crimes. If it can be proven that he lured Celeste to his home, wouldn't let her leave then murdered her, that rises to the level of kidnapping, a federal offence. D4vd could already be facing the death penalty for the special circumstances in the case —lying in wait, murder for financial gain, and killing a witness to a crime.
Especially disturbing is a video released by the singer showing him sitting in a chair wrapping what looks like a human finger in a cloth. Celeste Rivas had two fingers cut off. They have not been found. The finger being held by D4vd was actually a plastic anime toy.
