Roughly seven days Celeste Rivas was killed, according to prosecutors, D4vd posted a single word to social media, "decay." It's sparked social commentary as many are linking it back to Celeste's death at the hands of David Anthony Burke. No official court source has identified the tweet as evidence, and so far authorities have not connected it to the case.
During Burke's preliminary hearing, prosecutors revealed the last text messages between D4vd and Celeste the day before prosecutors say he dismembered the teen. Prosecutors allege Burke fatally stabbed her, after an argument over another woman. Rivas reportedly said she would “end your career and your life” and threatened to “leak all of the s–t” if she saw him with her. According to the state, Celeste was killed the next day.
D4vd has pleaded not guilty to charges including first‑degree murder, continual sexual abuse of a child under 14, and mutilation of human remains.

OnlyFans model and Instagram influencer Courtney Clenney arrested on charges that she stabbed her boyfriend, Christian Obumseli, 27, to death at their Miami high-rise home.
An attorney for Clenney says that the 25-year-old “was a victim of physical, emotional, and mental abuse at the hands of Obumseli” and killed him in self-defense. The two had been dating for about two years and lived at the apartment building for several months.
Police responded to multiple calls to the apartment, and apartment staff also noted multiple domestic incidents and tried to evict them.
Friends of the couple said it was unimaginable that Obumseli could have been violent toward Clenney, saying while they had seen Clenney hit Obumseli, they had never seen him hit her.
Now, Clenney, pleaded guilty to manslaughter with a deadly weapon in Christian's death. An autopsy found a single three‑inch‑deep stab wound to the chest that punctured his subclavian artery. Clenney initially claimed self‑defense, saying she threw a kitchen knife at him from about 10 feet away Miami police body‑camera footage showed Clenney covered in blood after the attack. Clenney was sentenced to six years in prison and five years of probation, with credit for roughly four years already served. It's possible she will be released in less than 2 years.
