📍 How it ended

After the singer’s father sold property and took out a loan, D4vd abruptly left his private legal team and switched to public defenders, prompting the victim’s family to assert that he was “not indigent.” The family of Celeste Rivas Hernandez challenged the indigent claim while continuing to demand justice in the murder case. No further developments were reported, leaving the situation without a clear resolution in the coverage.
