Video game Fortnite is offering a refund to players who purchased D4vd items following the singer\u2019s charges in the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.<\/a><\/p>\n

The video game, which the singer used to launch his artistic career by posting clips of the game to his music, announced in a post on Sunday that it\u2019s offering customers refunds for D4vd cosmetics.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hear the concerns,\u201d Fortnite Status, the game\u2019s official account for service updates, wrote in a social media post<\/a>. \u201cWe have a bunch of changes we\u2019re rolling out over time. The first one will be available on Tuesday April 28th, when anyone who purchased one of these items will be able to get an immediate self-service refund. And, right now, players who request refunds for D4vd cosmetics via player support can be refunded.\u201d<\/p>\n

D4vd, whose real name is David Burke, was arrested earlier this month<\/a> in connection with Hernandez\u2019s death. He was then charged with first-degree murder and other crimes\u00a0in the case.<\/p>\n

The teenage girl\u2019s remains were discovered last September in the trunk of a Tesla that was registered to Burke\u2019s name. The body was found after the vehicle was impounded following a report that it was abandoned in the Hollywood Hills near a home that the Burke was residing in. Employees at the tow yard where the vehicle was taken reported a foul odor coming from the Tesla and reported it to law enforcement.<\/p>\n

Burke is slated to return to court on May 1 for a preliminary hearing.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe attorneys for D4vd, the singer accused of killing 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, wants a preliminary hearing to happen next week. Eric Leonard reports for the NBC4 News at 3 p.m. on Thursday, April 23, 2026.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Video game Fortnite is offering a refund to players who purchased D4vd items following the singer\u2019s charges in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":289086,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[3552,48,52,51,47,50,49,16158],"class_list":["post-289085","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-crime-and-courts","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-video-games"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289085","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=289085"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289085\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/289086"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=289085"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=289085"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=289085"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
