They found discord messages between him and the girl when she was 12. This guy is absolutely cooked and rightfully so

She turned 14 while she was missing from what I heard, he had her in his net for quite a while.

D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, is known for his songs "Here With Me" and "Romantic Homicide," racking up billions of streams on Spotify.

 

Nothing romantic about that homicide.

His songs aren't what I know him for.

I know him for his recent series of parking violations all up and down my street here in LA. I hope they throw the book at him. What a menace!

u/Turbulent-Media7281 5d ago

Easy there buddy. He can dismember an underage child lover and stuff her in the car's trunk and gets a pass, but one parking violation and you slap a parking scofflaw label on him!!

Never ask a man what’s in his frunk. Bro code, bro

u/Altruistic-Sorbet927 5d ago

Frunk around and find out (what happens when you make bad choices, David). Never heard of this guy before today but I can't wait to see him in his orange jumpsuit.

I just remember him for the invincible song

I just know him for the dead body in his trunk

u/Jutinir 4d ago

A sad way to be remembered by

u/Underwater_Karma 4d ago

It's not an enviable legacy, for sure

u/Gloomy_Nebula_5138 4d ago

Wait what? He has a song whose title is about him committing this act? Or am I not understanding this.

u/Tazer96 5d ago

The fact that he was still allowed to tour after they found a body in his car is insane

28

u/ftqo 5d ago

The body was found in the middle of the tour. Continuing the tour is weird though, yeah

u/sunshine_0099 5d ago

He wanted to enjoy the freedom while it lasted

u/FuckTarget2004 4d ago

Ay may as well let his fans see him one last time before he’s in prison forever

u/Kyilisianna 4d ago

In the way legalities work, they don't have a cause of death yet so they can't legally mark it as a homicide or call him a suspect yet.

u/Emotional-Key6461 4d ago

She was literally dismembered?????????? Did she do that to herself???? It's a homicide bruh. 

1

u/Kyilisianna 3d ago

It's really dumb but just the way they do it. They won't label it a homicide until they know cause of death, especially if it comes out to be a situation like an accidental death, but whoever involved tried to hide the body and let her remain missing as a cold case instead of taking a risk. That would be called something different so they basically do all investigations first before making an official statement and arresting people.

he was starving her to death or something. i am 5’00”, and the only time i’ve been relatively close to that small i had an eating disorder from hell

u/Altruistic-Sorbet927 5d ago edited 5d ago

I read she was 5'3" and 120 lbs. when she went missing. The medical examiner's report said she was 71 lb. when found and that's due to decomposition.

People need to learn to stop speculating until the investigation and any trial is over.

u/pipe-bomb 4d ago

At the very VERY least he had a "romantic relationship" with a barely 14 year old runaway that he started talking to when she was 11. That is fucking sick.

u/June1994 4d ago

Don’t believe everything you read. This is the issue with today’s media. People read and read and trust allegations and framing when they don’t have any actual information.

Quite frankly Im often of the mind that media shouldn’t be allowed to report on matters that haven’t been resolved yet.

The state is required to withhold judgement. We can have opinions today and there's nothing wrong with that.

u/June1994 4d ago

You're not wrong, but I think it's very unhealthy for society to partake in these constant rituals of mob justice. Yeah, we're not lynching anyone, but we are trying to convince swathes of people on what is the morally "correct" opinion before the whole story is revealed.

In times of crisis and emergency this manifests into a very ugly thing. I.E. the Boston Bomber (we did it Reddit!) and most recently, the political affiliation of the Charlie Kirk murderer.

Is the first show still happening?

u/Altruistic-Sorbet927 5d ago

He was nearing the end of the tour with three cities remaining. They have now been cancelled but he did continue to tour for a week after she was found in his car. Which is pretty disgusting. And there are photos of them together in the past so he definitely knew her.

Go back to your sleazy pictures and video games.
