Celeste Rivas’ family publicly calls for the death penalty for D4vd, an alleged killer accused in the murder of Celeste Rivas. The comments come ahead of the victim’s 16th birthday, with some reporting describing the family’s long silence on the issue until this point.
Both outlets frame the family’s intervention as urging capital punishment if D4vd is found guilty. Rolling Stone includes direct statements from family members characterizing the alleged offender and arguing for the death penalty in the case, while the New York Post focuses on the family’s powerful support for capital punishment and notes it appears to be on the eve of Celeste Rivas’ 16th birthday. Neither source provides detailed procedural updates in the excerpted text, including whether a death-penalty request is formally sought by prosecutors or the current trial stage.
Overall, the common ground across reports is that Celeste Rivas’ relatives are now advocating death penalty outcomes for D4vd as the case is pending, with the timing tied to the victim’s approaching birthday.
