D4VD faces trial in Los Angeles on murder charges related to the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, with prosecutors presenting graphic evidence including DNA findings, texts about pregnancy, and details about a chainsaw and body bag. His online behavior, including alleged jokes about violence and a resurfacing of controversial videos, has drawn scrutiny, while his Apple Music account was hacked during the trial. The case has drawn public attention, especially after revelations of his promotional activities in South Korea shortly after the alleged crime.
