Summary
A judge is weighing whether there’s enough evidence to send rising TikTok star D4vd — real name David Burke — to trial for the brutal murder and dismemberment of a 14-year-old girl. Prosecutors say Burke, 21, lured her into a rented home, stabbed her to death, and chopped her body apart in his garage — all after a years-long sexual relationship that began when she was just 13. DNA, chainsaws, and surveillance footage allegedly showing Burke driving her car are key pieces of evidence. Burke, whose hit song “Romantic Homicide” racked up over a billion streams and who performed at Coachella just weeks before the alleged crime, has pleaded not guilty. The defense hasn’t publicly countered the claims, but insists he’s innocent. With no cameras in the courtroom and Burke appearing in jail clothes, this hearing could set the course for one of the most shocking music-industry murder cases in recent memory.
