A preliminary hearing in Los Angeles is focusing on the case against singer D4vd, who has been accused of murdering teenager Celeste Rivas Hernandez and dismembering her body. According to evidence presented by prosecutors, text messages introduced in court indicated that Hernandez had been pregnant and had an abortion before her death.

The hearing is part of the early court process as prosecutors lay out the evidence supporting the charges. D4vd appeared in court and has pleaded not guilty, according to the case details described so far.

The new attention on the text messages adds another layer to a case that has already drawn significant public interest because of the singer's profile and the seriousness of the allegations. Based on the available report, the prosecution is using those communications to help build a timeline and context around Hernandez before she died.

The preliminary hearing is still underway, and the court is expected to continue reviewing the evidence before deciding how the case will proceed. At this stage, the central facts remain that D4vd denies the charges and prosecutors are continuing to present material they say supports the murder case.
