www.cbsnews.comI don’t have live updates right now, but here’s the latest I can summarize based on recent reporting:
-
In mid-April 2026, reports circulated that the singer known as d4vd, whose real name is David Burke, was arrested in Los Angeles in connection with the death of a 14-year-old girl. Some outlets described him as being held without bail and facing murder-related charges, with court appearances reported around April 20, 2026. These initial stories were widely covered by various news outlets. [sources include Geo News and CNN-related coverage from mid-April 2026]

There has also been discussion of ongoing investigations and subsequent legal statements from his representatives denying the allegations, along with conflicting or evolving details as prosecutors reviewed charges. Separately, other coverage addressed rumors and clarified that until official charges are filed, reports should be treated cautiously. [sources include multiple outlets around April 2026]

As with high-profile criminal cases, initial arrest reports can be followed by updates on bail status, charges, court dates, and the outcome of investigations, so I’d recommend checking reputable outlets for the latest court filings and official statements.
