The investigation into the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas advanced this week as Neo Langston appeared before a Los Angeles County grand jury. Langston, a known associate of the musician D4vd, testified after briefly being taken into custody for failing to appear as a witness. His appearance marked a procedural step in a case that has remained active for months. Officials declined to comment on the substance of his testimony.
Langston, 23, arrived at the courthouse on February 4 as part of an inquiry that began late last year. The case stems from the discovery of Rivas’s dismembered remains in September 2025. Authorities located the remains inside a vehicle connected to D4vd in Hollywood. The circumstances surrounding the discovery remain under investigation.
According to people familiar with the proceedings, Langston spent roughly 30 to 40 minutes in the grand jury room. He left the courthouse without speaking to reporters. Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman, who is presenting evidence to the grand jury, also declined to answer questions. Grand jury hearings are conducted in private, and details are rarely disclosed.
Langston was arrested on January 22 in Helena, Montana, after a Los Angeles judge issued a bench warrant related to his failure to appear. He was detained at his mother’s residence and later transported to Los Angeles. Records show he was held at the LAPD’s Metropolitan Detention Center, where bail was set at $60,000. He was released after posting bond.
High-Profile Case Remains Open as Detectives Continue Interviews
Langston, who previously used the online name NeoTheAsian has appeared in photographs with D4vd on social media. Investigators have interviewed multiple witnesses as part of the case. Law enforcement officials say the inquiry remains ongoing. No charges have been filed against Langston.
Authorities have identified D4vd, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, as a suspect. Detectives have also pointed to a second individual believed to have been involved “before, during, and after” the killing. Officials have not disclosed further details. Prosecutors have not indicated when charging decisions may be announced.
The case continues to draw public attention as investigators work through the evidence. Officials have emphasized that the process remains active and ongoing. Any future charges will depend on the findings presented to the grand jury.
