Singer D4vd was charged with murder and dismemberment on Monday following the discovery of his teenage girlfriend's decomposing body in a Tesla parked in the Hollywood Hills. The vehicle had been abandoned at the time law enforcement located it. Authorities identified the victim as the 17-year-old girl who had been reported missing days earlier. D4vd, whose real name is David Burke II, was taken into custody without incident and formally charged in connection with her death. Court documents describe the charges as one count of murder with a special circumstance of torture and one count of dismemberment. Prosecutors allege that D4vd killed the teenager at a residence before placing her remains in the car. He is being held without bail as the case proceeds through the Los Angeles County legal system. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for next month.
D4vd faces torture and dismemberment charges over the killing of his 17-year-old girlfriend, yet performed days after her disappearance as if nothing had occurred. His continued public appearances after she was last seen raise questions about how long he moved freely while she was already dead. The case unfolds in Los Angeles, far from Nigeria, with no Nigerian national involved. No Nigerian policy, citizen or institution is implicated in the crime.
