The family statement would be the first time the public hears from Celeste’s loved ones since D4vd’s Thursday arrest in Los Angeles.

Video: LAPD’s D4vd Murder Arrest Came Before the D.A. Was Ready
2 Angry Men

LAPD arrested D4vd Thursday … and Mark Geragos said on the “2 Angry Men” podcast cops took the law into their own hands because they were tired of waiting for the D.A. to file charges.

One high-ranking LAPD source told us the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner determined the manner of death was homicide … and it sounds like police were waiting for that official declaration before making their move.

Attorneys for D4vd — real name David Burke — told TMZ … “Let us be clear – the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and he was not the cause of her death.”
