We went to see Luigi Mangione in court.

September 16, 2025, in a New York State Courthouse, Mangione’s terrorism charges are dropped.

The courtroom remains silent with court officers stationed at every corner.

There are cheers from protestors right outside the courthouse.

A strange energy clash between mainstream media and the members of the public who waited over 30 hours to get inside the courtroom.

Protestors organized giant vans to circle the courthouse with Luigi Mangione’s face displayed on them.

It feels like a big win for the Mangione legal team.

Except…

His attorneys argue that all 3 jurisdictions are fighting over who gets to be the one to take down Luigi Mangione.

He still faces:

Weapons charges in Pennsylvania.

2nd degree murder, weapons, and stalking charges in the state of New York.

And the death penalty from the federal government.

It is not until Spetmber 17th, 2025 that the body found in D4vd’s Tesla is identified as 14 year old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

And she has been missing for over a year.

The last time her family saw her in person seems to be in April of 2024 though her family has remained out of the public eye with no official statements.

The police are quiet. The medical examiner’s are quiet. David and his team are quiet. And Celeste’s family is quiet.

The media and netizens, basically the general public, is not. People start developing their own assumptions and conclusions to the point where there’s about five main theories floating around online.

One, he killed her for fame.

Two, he’s innocent.

Three, he’s involved but her death was an accident and he couldn’t call for an ambulance or authorities because she was a missing teen.

Four, he murdered her and disposed of her body.

Five, there is a lot more that we don’t know and there are other people that are heavily involved.

This is what the internet thinks happened to Celeste Rivas Hernandez, the 14 year old girl found deceased in the trunk of D4vd’s car.

None of the people that are carrying the casket are saying anything. They just roll it into the building.

Once the casket finds its spot in the room, people file in to pay their respects. It’s not an open casket but as people pass by the roses and the guestbook, they see that the casket is for a young man depicted in a blood stained dress shirt.

Thankfully this is not a funeral.

This is a concert.

For one of the biggest rising artists of 2025, D4vd.

The writer and singer behind ‘Romantic Homicide,’ and ‘Here With Me’ kicked off his international tour by holding a funeral for his ‘alter ego’ at a few of his domestic tour stops.

Nobody thought twice about this. It was ‘artistic’ and ‘apart of his aesthetic.’ Just a part of his branding. Nobody thought he could actually be telling the truth right?

September 8th, 2025 the news that the remains of a 14 year old girl are found in an abandoned Tesla the LAPD confirmed to be registered to D4vd goes nationwide.

Despite this, he still decides to perform one last concert night before cutting his tour short.

This is everything we know about the singer D4vd and the victim whose body was found in his trunk.
