Rising singer D4vd (David Anthony Burke) has moved to shift ownership of two Houston‑area properties into his mother’s name, according to legal documents obtained by TMZ and media outlets. The transfers come as his name remains publicly associated with the mysterious death of 14‑year‑old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
What the Documents Reveal
- The deeds for the two homes, previously held under a trust in D4vd’s name (Thorn Rose Trust), were signed over on September 18 and September 22.
- The Sept. 18 transfer coincides with a swatting call at one of the properties, where a caller falsely claimed there was a shooting and a dead female.
- When authorities responded to the swatting report, D4vd’s parents were present at the home and said his siblings were upstairs.
- One of the homes was already occupied by his family at the time of transfer, making the deed change more of a formal legal shift than a relocation.
Why This Move Raises Eyebrows
- The timing is seen by some as strategic: the property transfers were done shortly after and during events tied to law enforcement activity.
- Transferring property to family is a known tactic for asset protection, which can complicate seizure or claims in ongoing investigations.
- Since D4vd is not yet formally charged, the transfers provoke speculation about how legal strategy may intersect with investigations.
- The public and investigators will scrutinize whether this move affects potential evidence, ownership claims, or liabilities tied to the properties.
What’s Next to Watch
- Whether authorities challenge the validity of the transfers or seek to reverse them
- How this affects the investigation into Celeste Rivas’ death and whether these properties are relevant to evidence collection
- Statements or legal filings from D4vd or his attorneys explaining the transfers
- Whether this leads to civil claims or asset forfeiture attempts in parallel proceedings
