A judge has ruled that prosecutors can move forward with murder charges against singer D4vd in the killing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The decision clears the way for the case to proceed, though it remains in early stages. Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman stated that D4vd is eligible for the death penalty, but added that no final determination on capital punishment has been made at this point. The case involves the death of Hernandez, and the singer, known for the hit “Romantic Homicide,” now faces a potential trial. The judge’s ruling follows a hearing where prosecutors presented evidence supporting the charges. Legal experts note that the death penalty eligibility does not guarantee it will be sought; prosecutors have discretion to decide later. The defense may challenge the charges or seek to have certain evidence excluded. The case has drawn significant attention due to D4vd’s rising music career. The next court appearance is expected to set a timeline for further proceedings, including a possible preliminary hearing. Both the prosecution and defense are preparing for what could be a lengthy legal process. The district attorney’s office has not yet disclosed specific evidence or motives. Meanwhile, Hernandez's family has called for justice. D4vd remains in custody pending further hearings. The judge’s decision to allow the case to advance marks a significant step in the legal proceedings.
