Cops Rush to Parents’ TX Home for ‘Swatting’ Call
Published
Police body cam shows officers swarming D4vd’s Texas family home — just days after Celeste Rivas‘ body was discovered in his Tesla — responding to a report of gunfire.
The footage shows cops walking up to D4vd’s Hempstead home with guns drawn on September 18 … after a 911 caller claimed they heard gunshots outside the home, a woman screaming and someone dead.
When officers knocked, it was the singer’s parents who answered, looking stunned and very confused.
You can also hear in audio captured by the body cam … D4vd’s mom telling cops there are 4 people who live in the house, and that her daughter and son are upstairs. D4vd has a younger brother and sister, so it seems D4vd was not there at the time … or, if so, his parents didn’t mention him.
D4vd’s dad can be heard repeatedly saying someone is messing with us. His mom is then concerned someone might be on their property, and cops assure them they will check before leaving.
According to the report, officers stuck around for less than 20 minutes before bouncing. No incident report was filed by police, so it was clearly just a “swatting” prank.
As we’ve been reporting, D4vd — real name David Burke — is tied to the shocking discovery of Celeste’s body earlier this month.
Her remains were found in his Tesla in L.A., and sources have told us D4vd’s friends believed Celeste was 19. She’d been reported missing from her Lake Elsinore home in early 2024.
Authorities believe she may have been dead for weeks before her remains were found.
D4vd has gone radio silent … canceling the rest of his U.S. shows on Sept. 19 and putting his deluxe album rollout, “Withered,” on hold.
He has not been seen in public since ending his tour, and moving out of the Hollywood Hills home where detectives executed a search warrant.

Don Lemon is apparently in the DOJ’s crosshairs after he was covering a group of ICE protesters who interrupted a church service in Minnesota’s Twin Cities … and at least one parishioner wants them all charged.
Here’s the deal … The former CNN host — now an independent journalist — live-streamed from Cities Church in St. Paul, MN, where a bunch of demonstrators interrupted the Sunday service to protest the presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in the state. One of the pastors is allegedly an ICE official.

Cities Church parishioner Caleb Phillips tells TMZ … the protesters rocked the church and scared the hell out of a lot of good people … but ultimately, they accomplished nothing.
Don Lemon may have been on the job … but Caleb tells us he should be ashamed of going into the church, seeing how upset everyone, especially children, were. CP also couldn’t believe Lemon dared to do an ambush interview of lead pastor Jonathan Parnell.
TMZ.com
The DOJ said Monday an investigation had been opened … and alluded that Lemon would not be exempt.
After the situation settled and police arrived … Caleb tells us Parnell told members the protest target, Pastor David Easterwood, was in law enforcement for decades and has been a pastor at the church for 10 years. The church stands firmly behind him.
Caleb is still on edge now — and knows others are, too – but he’s sure this will draw more people to the church. That said, he doesn’t want any newcomers there simply because they’re supportive of ICE. They need to be there for Jesus.
