Celeste Rivas’ Dad’s Reaction to D4vd’s Arrest Revealed

Celeste Rivas‘ family wants justice for their slain teenager … and, according to their attorney, D4vd‘s arrest makes them feel they’re going to get it.

Patrick Steinfeld — a lawyer for Rivas’ family — released a statement following the singer’s arrest, explaining how the family plans to handle D4vd’s possible upcoming court hearings.

Family members plan to exercise their rights under California’s Victims’ Bill of Rights — better known as Marsy’s Law — to attend D4vd’s arraignment if the D.A. chooses to charge him with murder. They will also attend any press conference the D.A. holds following the arraignment … and will speak to the media after that. Steinfeld also shared an insight into how the family’s feeling …

As you know … cops took D4vd into custody in Los Angeles just after 5 PM on Friday — though the D.A. has not yet charged him with a crime.

We’ve been told the Los Angeles District Attorney will file criminal charges against D4vd on Monday. He’s currently sitting in a jail cell — being held without bail — but, if he’s not charged by then, authorities will have to set him free.

D4vd’s arrest came more than 7 months after Rivas’ maimed body was found in the back of his abandoned Tesla. He’s receded from the spotlight in the months since.

A grand jury was convened in November 2025 … but it still has not indicted D4vd — which presents a potential prosecutorial problem, says our own Harvey Levin.
