Burke is being held without bail.” — LAPD PIO (@LAPDPIO) April 17, 2026 The case will be presented to the district attorney’s office on Monday for filing consideration. Authorities found Hernandez’s decomposed remains in the front trunk of an impounded Tesla registered in D4vd’s name last September. Hernandez was reported missing three times in the final year of her life, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office, after running away from home in April 2024. Officers were called to a tow yard on Sept. 8 after reports that a foul odor had wafted from an impounded vehicle after a couple of weeks. Police then found a dismembered body that had been placed inside of a bag in the front trunk of the vehicle. At the time that Hernandez’s dead body was found in the alt-pop singer’s car, a spokesperson for the musician said he was “fully cooperating with authorities.” According to an NBC Los Angeles report in November, the artist was no longer cooperative. D4vd released his debut studio album “Withered” in 2025 and went on tour in August. His shows were suspended Sept. 19 following the death of Hernandez. The deluxe edition of his album was also shelved after her body was found in his car. More to come…
