The suspect of the homicide, David Burke, also known as D4VD, is a 21 year old musician. According to the district attorney of Los Angeles Nathan Hochman, D4VD faces the charge of murder. The following information highlights the complete story.

According to reports, Hochman stated that the victim's remains were found last year in the trunk of a car registered in D4VD's name. She had been missing for approximately one and a half years, and her decomposed body was discovered in September 2025.

The car had been parked in a Hollywood Hills area for several weeks before it was towed to an impound lot. Workers complained of a foul odor.

On April 5, 2024, the family of victim Hernandez reported him missing. Nearly 18 months later, his dismembered body was found in the trunk of a Tesla car registered in D4VD's name.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has declared the cause of death "undetermined," as further investigations are ongoing. Investigators believe the body had been in the car for several weeks.

D4VD gained recognition in 2022 when he recorded songs on his phone and used them in Fortnite gaming videos, which went viral on TikTok. His song "Romantic Homicide" became a huge hit, earning him a contract with Interscope Records.
