Prosecutors have alleged that D4vd, whose real name is David Burke, killed 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez and dismembered her body in the garage after she threatened to expose their sexual relationship and ruin his career.
Judge Charlaine Olmedo sided with the prosecution, ruling that the evidence presented at the preliminary hearing was sufficient for a trial. She also ordered Burke to remain in custody without bail. He denies the charges.
Prosecutors have presented text messages and receipts from internet purchases among their evidence.
Burke broke through in 2022 when his song "Romantic Homicide" went viral on TikTok.
