The murder case against singer D4vd started with a hearing. Prosecutors said he ordered items online after a girl's death.

D4vd, 21, is charged with murder. A girl's decomposed body was found in his car.

Prosecutors said D4vd used items to cut up the girl's body. He allegedly killed her to keep their relationship a secret.

A detective said D4vd used a fake name to order items, but paid with his own cards and had them sent to his home.

D4vd says he is not guilty. He is in jail and cannot pay to get out.

Most of the items found in D4vd's garage matched what he ordered online.

A blood stain in the garage was from the girl who died.

The body bag D4vd ordered was the same one used to hold the girl's body parts.

D4vd's lawyer asked if the body bag was tested to link it to him.

The detective said the body was too decomposed to remove from the bag.

D4vd did not show emotion when he saw pictures of the girl's body.

The prosecutor showed pictures of the girl's body in court. Her arms and legs were cut off.

One picture showed the girl's knee with blue plastic. This plastic came from a pool D4vd allegedly used.

A picture of the girl's finger with a tattoo was shown. D4vd has the same tattoo.

The detective said D4vd has a tattoo of the girl's name on his finger.

The girl's mother was in court and looked away when the pictures were shown.

The girl's father looked at the screen and checked on her mother.

Prosecutors showed a video of D4vd talking to police after the girl was reported missing.

D4vd told police he met the girl online and thought she was 18.

D4vd said the girl told him she was 18, but others said she was 13.

A court document says D4vd started a sexual relationship with the girl when she was 13.

We have not seen this court document ourselves.

The document says D4vd killed the girl to silence her before she ruined his music career.

D4vd said he met the girl online in 2020 or 2021.

A police officer said D4vd let him search his house.

This hearing was the first time evidence against D4vd was shown in public.

A judge will decide if there is enough evidence for the case to go to trial.

The prosecutor said they will show enough evidence to send the case to trial.

The prosecutor said they might seek the death penalty if D4vd is found guilty.

The prosecutor said they do not have to show all their evidence at this hearing.

Many officers and witnesses will testify at the hearing.

The hearing was delayed until July because D4vd's team needed more time.

In May, the hearing was delayed again due to new evidence.

Prosecutors have shared a lot of digital evidence, including items from D4vd's phone.

The prosecutor said they are still uploading evidence and it could be very large.

The hearing was previously delayed until May.

D4vd is charged with murder, sexual acts with a minor, and mutilating a body.

The murder charge could lead to the death penalty, but prosecutors have not decided.
