8
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: who has been seen publicly alongside the musician David, was

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 2: arrested on Thursday at a home in Helena due to

10
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: an out of state warrant issued by the Los Angeles

11
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:40,919
Speaker 2: Police Department. As per court documents, Langston was processed at

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: the Lewis and Clark County Detention Center and held without

13
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,199

Speaker 2: LAPD's Robbery Homicide Division, but refrained from giving further information.

16
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 2: Court documents reveal that Langston was being sought for not

17
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: appearing as a witness before a grand jury. His arrest

18
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 2: is connected to the ongoing investigation and to the death

19
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: of Celeste Revas Hernandez, who was last seen in Lake

20
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: Eleanor in April twenty twenty four, when she was just

21
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,639
Speaker 2: thirteen years old. Her remains were found on September eighth

22
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 2: in the front trunk of a Tesla that had been

23
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: seized by a Los Angeles towing company just days prior

24
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: to David's scheduled performance in San Francisco. The car is

25
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 2: registered to the singer, whose real name is David Anthony Burke. Burke, twenty,

26
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 2: has been named as a suspect by law enforcement sources,

27
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 2: but has not yet faced any charges. Authorities have stated

28
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: that the investigation is still ongoing and that multiple individuals

29
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: may have played a role in the disposal of the

30
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: young girl's body. The cause and manner of death are

31
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: still pending, said doctor Ode Uckpo, chief medical examiner for

32
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: Los Angeles County, after a court ordered confidentiality direct was

33
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 2: imposed on his office. We are unable to disclose any

34
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: information while the court order is in effect, he stated.

35
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: A grand jury has been established and several witnesses have

36
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: already provided their testimonies. It is still unclear if Langston

37
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: is the witness that prosecutors previously described as not being

38
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: very cooperative. Known previously as Neo the Asian, Langston frequently

39
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,400
