Grand Jury Names D4vd as Target in Probe of Teen Found in His Tesla

Unsealed Texas filings detail graphic evidence alongside efforts to compel the singer’s relatives to testify as the Los Angeles inquiry continues.

Overview

  • Court records identify David Anthony Burke, known as D4vd, as the grand jury's target in an investigation that cites a possible one count of murder.
  • Filings describe two cadaver bags in the Tesla’s front trunk, with a decomposed head and torso in one and severed limbs in a second bag discovered on Sept. 8, 2025.
  • The Tesla was reported abandoned, marked and cited by the Department of Transportation, then towed to a Hollywood lot where employees reported a strong odor.
  • Subpoenas issued Jan. 15 sought testimony from the singer’s parents and brother in Los Angeles, with Texas courts weighing challenges and a higher-court stay noted in filings.
  • No arrest or charges have been announced, and autopsy findings remain under court seal as prosecutors continue presenting evidence; a friend, Neo Langston, was arrested after ignoring a subpoena and brought to testify.
