Streamer Friend of Singer D4vd Arrested in Montana on California Warrant
A prominent Twitch streamer and associate of the singer known as D4vd has been taken into custody in Montana, following an out-of-state warrant issued by authorities in California. The arrest is directly connected to a high-profile murder investigation in Los Angeles, which centres on the death of a teenage girl whose remains were discovered in a vehicle registered to the musician.
Arrest and Detention in Helena
Neo Langston, aged 23, was apprehended in Helena and booked into the Lewis & Clark County Jail. He is currently being held without bond. The arrest was executed by local police in Helena, who acted on behalf of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Robbery-Homicide Division. The warrant for Langston's arrest was active due to his failure to appear in court as a witness in an unspecified legal proceeding.
Connection to the Celeste Rivas Hernandez Case
The Robbery-Homicide Division leading Langston's capture is the same unit investigating D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, over the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Her partially dismembered and badly decomposed body was found on September 8, 2025, in the front trunk (or "frunk") of an impounded Tesla SUV registered to D4vd. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has faced difficulties determining the exact cause of death due to the state of the remains.
Police believe Hernandez likely died much earlier than her discovery, possibly in the spring of 2025, shortly after she went missing from her Lake Elsinore home in April 2024. It remains unclear precisely where or for which case Langston was supposed to testify, but reports indicate a grand jury in Los Angeles is hearing evidence related to Hernandez's death.
Uncooperative Witness and Grand Jury Proceedings
Prior to Langston's arrest, TMZ reported that a grand jury witness in the Hernandez case was being 'uncooperative'. It is not yet confirmed whether Langston was this individual. His arrest underscores the intensifying legal scrutiny surrounding the investigation, with D4vd reportedly treated as a suspect by the LAPD, though he has not been formally charged. A late December TMZ report suggested D4vd is 'likely' to be indicted for murder.
Relationship Between D4vd and Hernandez
Testimony from friends and family indicates Hernandez was in a romantic relationship with D4vd. Her mother, who reported her missing multiple times in 2024, stated her daughter was dating a man named 'David' whom she had never met. The pair were said to have matching 'Sshhh' tattoos on their right index fingers and were frequently seen together at social events.
Friends of D4vd initially believed Hernandez was a 19-year-old University of Southern California student, expressing shock upon learning she was underage. Police have noted Hernandez possessed multiple fake IDs, which may have facilitated her attendance at gatherings for individuals aged 21 and older.
Discovery of the Body and Vehicle
Hernandez's remains were discovered after D4vd's Tesla was left on Bluebird Avenue in the Hollywood Hills for over 72 hours, leading to its impoundment. Neighbors observed the vehicle being moved several times in the preceding three months. Employees at a Hollywood tow yard alerted police to a foul odour emanating from the car, upon which the remains were found wrapped in a plastic bag.
The Tesla's location was near a rental property in the Hollywood Hills where D4vd lived with his manager, paying $20,000 monthly. The homeowner reported that D4vd broke the lease days after a police raid on September 17, during which a computer and several bags of evidence were seized.
This developing case continues to unfold, with Langston's arrest marking a significant step in the ongoing investigation into the tragic death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez and the involvement of those connected to singer D4vd.
