“BETWEEN THE STAGE LIGHTS AND THE HORRIFYING TRUTH…”— Fans who paid $140 to attend D4vd’s concert are now stunned as they look back at the “haunting signs” from the show, the same day a teenage girl’s body was discovered in his Tesla. A funeral-themed stage with coffins, wreaths, and letters that seemed to “artisticize death”… is now seen as chilling fragments. Audiences thought it was just a concept, but after the shocking allegations were revealed, everything became distorted and more terrifying than ever. From a seemingly normal concert night — to details that plunged the entire fan community into confusion, outrage, and obsession… where the line between “art” and “reality” seems to have blurred.”

D4VD fans have been left sickened by the alleged warning signs at his funeral-themed gig they attended on the same day a teenager’s dismembered body was found in his car.

The 21-year-old singer faces the death penalty as he is accused of killing 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Harnandez on April 23, 2025 and mutilating her remains with a chainsaw.

D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, is facing three counts, including first-degree murder with special circumstances, after the missing teen’s decomposing body was found in the trunk of his Tesla in September 2025.

The singer has pleaded not guilty to all charges and remains behind bars awaiting trial.

Now, fans who attended the Minneapolis gig the day the body was found say they are disgusted after spotting what they now believe were chilling ‘red flags’ at the show.

This included the now-unsettling sight of a casket and flowers out front along with an invite for fans to write a letter to the deceased.

Jazz Ramirez was in the crowd at the show and admitted she initially brushed off reports about the body being found in his car.

“It was the first thing I saw on my feed. I believed it to be just a hoax or some sort of odd marketing for his concerts. Then I saw it being discussed on the news,” she told The U.S. Sun,

“We decided to go anyway because we had spent around $140 on tickets the night prior.

“Everyone I met at the concert believed he was innocent. I was never necessarily a big fan of D4vd. I attended the concert last minute with a friend.

“I just knew his most popular songs for a while and wanted a fun night out.”

Reflecting on the night since his arrest, she said she now feels “incredibly disgusted” by both the case and the artist, adding that the concert itself felt “rushed.”

“I remember the crowd trying to get D4vd to perform FEIN by Travis Scott for fun, as he did it for his past shows, but he completely disregarded it,” she said.

“Thinking back to it now, I feel like he was just trying to get through the show with no questions asked since all the information [about the body being found] was released on the same day.

“He didn’t do much crowd work; it was just the typical ‘What’s up, Minneapolis?’”

She said concertgoers have since realized the signs may have been there all along.

D4vd performed a 19-song set at The Fillmore Minneapolis, including tracks such as Romantic Homicide, Here With Me, and WORTHLESS.

She also recalled seeing a funeral casket positioned at the venue entrance — something she now says feels deeply disturbing in hindsight.

“There was a funeral casket set up; it’s unsettling to think of now with all the new information,” Jazz said.

“From what I recall, I believe the casket setup was right at the entrance once we entered the venue.”

Although he didn’t interact much with fans at the show, he was seen passing out Labubu toys for concertgoers.

D4vd went on to perform his scheduled concert in Portland, Oregon, on September 15, but then pulled the plug on the rest of his tour.

He has since been accused on social media of “playing in people’s faces” with what critics now see as glaring warning signs in his stage imagery.

His funeral-themed show design for the Withered tour was originally presented as an immersive artistic concept symbolizing the “death” of his killer alter ego, It4mi — a character whose name means “pain” in Japanese.

The performances featured caskets, floral wreaths, and notebooks where fans could leave messages, while the It4mi character appeared in music videos wearing a blindfold and a shirt smeared with bloody handprints.

But former fans now believe the fantasy took on a far darker meaning.

Asked about the ongoing case, Jazz added, “I haven’t been actively following it, but a lot of the information has shown up on my feed. I heard about the autopsy as well; it’s so horrifying.

“It’s all so disturbing and I’m very disappointed. I allowed this artist to profit off of my money.”

Other former fans have taken to social media to voice their disgust after hearing what D4vd has been accused of and the horrific way prosecutors allege he tried to cover up the murder.

One posted on X, “gonna confess I went to see D4vd a few days b4 we discovered he had Celeste in the trunk of his car.

“It was so heart breaking and I hope he dies a slow painful death.”

A father also posted on the site about attending a concert in London with his teenage daughter and meeting the singer after the show, saying she is now “disgusted” having found out what he is accused of.

An autopsy report revealed Celeste’s head and torso were discovered inside a “large, black zippered body bag with handles.”

Her arms and legs — severed above the elbows and knees — were reportedly found in a separate trash bag in the trunk.

Prosecutors claim he killed Rivas on April 23, 2025, shortly after she arrived at his Hollywood Hills home via an Uber he allegedly ordered around 10.10pm.

In early May, he allegedly purchased a shovel, two chainsaws, a body bag, and an inflatable pool, which prosecutors claim were used to dismember and dispose of the body.

During this time, it appeared to be business as usual as he promoted his album ‘Withered’ and performed concerts across the country, including stops in Phoenix and San Francisco.

It was months later, on September 6, when news broke that a body had been found in his Tesla after a foul smell was coming from the vehicle that had been towed and impounded after neighbors reported it abandoned.
