The friend of singer D4vd, identified as Neo Langston, was reportedly booked into jail on Friday after failing to appear in court as a witness, according to a report from TMZ.
The Case Unfolds
Langston, who is known as a streamer, was arrested in Montana on a warrant after missing his court appearance. He is currently being held without bond, TMZ reported.
Witnesses, including D4vd’s former tour manager, have already testified before a Los Angeles grand jury. Prosecutors reportedly believe D4vd, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, was involved in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez and are seeking an indictment.
The Backstory
The investigation began after D4vd’s Tesla was impounded for a parking violation in a Hollywood Hills neighborhood. The vehicle was taken to a tow yard where employees noticed the odor. Upon inspection by the Los Angeles Police Department, the dismembered remains of Rivas Hernandez were found.
Rivas Hernandez had been reported missing since April 5, 2024, from Lake Elsinore, approximately 75 miles from where the vehicle was impounded. Her ex-boyfriend, Damien Hernandez, told TMZ she had a “troubled home life.”
What’s Next
The grand jury process is ongoing, with more witnesses scheduled to testify through February 2026, according to TMZ. It is possible the grand jury will follow the lead of Los Angeles County prosecutors and indict D4vd. However, an indictment is not a conviction, and D4vd would be entitled to a trial. Further testimony and evidence will be needed to determine the outcome of the case.
