Breaking News: Arraignment Scheduled for Burke
Burke’s arraignment is set for August 31. His trial will begin within 90 days of this date.
Prosecutors accuse Burke of stabbing a teenager and then dismembering her body. They claim he killed her to prevent her from revealing their alleged relationship, which could harm his music career.
On April 22, 2025, evidence presented in court included threatening messages sent by the teenager, Celeste. One text stated, “I swear to GOD I will kill u,” and included threats to strangle him. Another message said, “I will end ur career and ur life.”
The day after these messages, Hernandez took an Uber to Burke’s home in Hollywood, which he had arranged. Prosecutors allege that Burke stabbed her upon her arrival.
The case is ongoing, and further details will emerge as the trial approaches.
