Judge Orders D4vd to Face Murder Trial in Los Angeles

A Los Angeles judge has ruled that US singer‑producer D4vd, who has been linked to the death of 14‑year‑old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, will stand trial on a murder charge. The decision was reached after a five‑day preliminary hearing during which prosecutors presented witness statements and photographic evidence to the court.

BBC’s North America correspondent, Shaimaa Khalil, reported from inside the courtroom, noting that the case has moved from preliminary hearings to formal indictment. The boy’s family and the community are now awaiting the trial’s outcome, which could carry significant legal consequences for the defendant.
