Neo Langston, a friend of singer D4vd, was arrested in Montana on January 23, 2026, after failing to appear as a witness in a grand jury investigation into the death of a teenager, connecting him to the ongoing probe where D4vd is a suspect in the homicide case. Langston, 23, was taken into custody in Lewis and Clark County on an out-of-state warrant from Los Angeles and is being held without bail.
The case revolves around the discovery of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s decomposed body in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to D4vd. The vehicle was impounded in Hollywood after being reported abandoned in the Hollywood Hills for over a month, with workers noting a foul odor on September 8, 2025, that led police to the remains. Rivas Hernandez had been missing since April 5, 2024, from Lake Elsinore, California.
D4vd, legally named David Burke, has been identified as a suspect in the girl’s death, with Los Angeles Police Department sources suggesting his involvement and assistance in disposing of the body. The singer, known for viral hits like “Romantic Homicide,” has not cooperated with investigators, according to authorities.
A grand jury in Los Angeles has been hearing testimonies from multiple witnesses, including Langston and D4vd’s former tour manager, with proceedings expected to continue through February 2026 as prosecutors seek to indict D4vd on murder charges. Langston’s arrest highlights the legal pressures on those associated with the investigation.
Langston, a notable streamer and friend of D4vd, was arrested in Helena, Montana, with local police assisting on the Los Angeles warrant. His failure to appear as a witness prompted the warrant, underscoring the importance of witness cooperation in serious criminal cases. The arrest was first reported by multiple news outlets within the last 24 hours.
D4vd’s career has been significantly impacted by the investigation; his world tour was canceled after the body was discovered. Originally from Queens and raised in Texas, he gained fame through TikTok and YouTube, leading to signings with major record labels. The case has attracted widespread media attention due to his celebrity status and the grim nature of the crime.
As the investigation progresses, additional witnesses may be called to testify, and further arrests could follow. The grand jury’s findings will determine whether formal charges are filed against D4vd and others involved. The arrest of Neo Langston marks a critical step in the legal process, emphasizing the consequences of evading judicial duties in high-profile criminal investigations.
