A judge has ruled that American musician D4vd, legally known as David Anthony Burke, will go on trial for murder in connection with the death of a teenage girl. The decision followed a five-day preliminary hearing in Los Angeles, during which prosecutors examined a dozen witnesses and presented photographic evidence. The case involves the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose remains were discovered last September in a Tesla registered to Burke's address.

Burke, 21, has pleaded not guilty to charges of murder and sexual abuse of the minor.
