Many people who knew both D4vd, also known as David Burke, have taken to social media to share their thoughts following his recent arrest in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Per CNN, grand jury subpoenas were issued earlier this year seeking testimony from three of D4vd’s relatives. The documents later became public after his mother, father, and brother reportedly appealed the subpoenas in Texas. A Texas judge ultimately ruled that the relatives must comply and testify in California, though it remains unclear whether they have done so.
Despite the appeals, it appears D4Vd’s brother, Caleb Burke, has now spoken out amid the singer’s recent arrest.
