Exclusive footage has emerged showing the dramatic arrest of singer D4vd by a heavily armed police contingent in the Hollywood Hills on Thursday evening. The video, obtained by TMZ, captures the intense moment law enforcement took the artist into custody around 5 PM, not far from the Sunset Strip.
The footage shows officers heavily armed, carrying guns, and some wearing tactical helmets and protective gear, underscoring just how seriously authorities were treating the arrest.
D4vd was arrested in connection with the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed the arrest, and the case is now expected to be reviewed by the District Attorney's Major Crimes Division to determine if formal charges will be filed.
This arrest follows the grim discovery over seven months ago when Rivas's decomposing body was found in a Tesla registered to the singer. Additional photos obtained show a significant police presence outside a residence where D4vd was staying at the time of his apprehension.
