The family of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas is preparing to issue their first public statement since singer D4vd was arrested last week in connection with her death. According to ABC7, the family's attorney indicated they plan to release a statement on Monday, coinciding with the deadline for prosecutors to either formally charge D4vd or release him from custody.
Celeste's decomposing body was discovered in the trunk of D4vd's Tesla seven months ago. The family's attorney stated that if the Los Angeles County District Attorney holds a press conference on Monday, Celeste's parents and sister intend to be present. The relatives also plan to attend a potential arraignment next week should criminal charges be filed.
TMZ obtained exclusive video showing D4vd's arrest, which reportedly involved a heavy police presence. Sources suggest tension between the LAPD and the District Attorney's office, with police allegedly moving forward with the arrest before prosecutors were ready to file formal murder charges.
The upcoming statement from Celeste Rivas's family marks a significant moment as they break their silence nearly seven months after her body was found and days after the arrest of the high-profile suspect.
