But before all that, we're in California for the latest in a case that is making headlines in true crime and pop culture. Tuesday morning, dozens of people lined up outside a downtown Los Angeles courthouse hoping to get a seat at the preliminary hearing for David, a musician who became famous on TikTok with hits like Romantic Homicide.
He stands accused of first degree murder. In September, LA police responded to a call that human remains were found in the trunk of the singer's Tesla after it was taken to a tow yard.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:01)
This morning, the LA County Medical Examiner identified 14-year-old Celeste Rivas as the person who was found dead at a Hollywood tow yard in early September.

**Andrea Canning** (3:09)
Seven months later, David was arrested and charged with Celeste's murder. He has pleaded not guilty.
Now, the prosecutor is trying to convince a judge there is enough evidence to take the singer to trial, giving us our first look inside the investigator's case against him. NBC News' associate producer, Madeline Morrison, is joining us from inside the courthouse to tell us what she has learned so far. Madeline, thank you for being here.

**Madeline Morrison** (3:33)
Thanks for having me, Andrea.

**Andrea Canning** (3:34)
Sure. We should just warn our viewers, some of what we'll be discussing in this segment is fairly graphic.
First, Madeline, remind us about David, full name David Anthony Burke. Who is he?

**Madeline Morrison** (3:46)
So he's a singer-songwriter. He's 21 years old, and he rose to fame in 2022 very quickly on TikTok, and he soon got a multi-million dollar recording contract.
He was on a world tour in 2025 for his debut album, when Celeste's body was discovered in his Tesla.

**Andrea Canning** (4:05)
The medical examiner identified the remains as belonging, of course, to 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. What do we know about her relationship with David?

**Madeline Morrison** (4:14)
She's from Lake Elsinore, which is a town in Riverside County, outside of Los Angeles. And prosecutors allege that David started a sexual relationship with Celeste when she was just 13 years old, and he was 18
And I should say that David hasn't just been charged with her murder. Prosecutors have also charged him with continuous sexual abuse of a minor and mutilation of human remains. He's pleaded not guilty to all of those charges.
