Hayden Panettiere Drug Dealer’s Incriminating Texts Focus of DEA
Published
Hayden Panettiere and her drug dealer engaged in numerous text conversations for years — right up until the week she died — and the DEA is now laser-focused on the thread of incriminating evidence … sources tell TMZ.
Sources involved in the investigation with direct knowledge tell us … Hayden and her dealer were very specific about purchasing black market pills. As one source put it, “There are a slew of messages about drugs.” We’re told the text messages are now a centerpiece of the investigation.
TMZ broke the story … the DEA believes Hayden died after taking an oxy pill laced with fentanyl. Our sources say Hayden took various pills with her on the flight from L.A. to South Carolina, the night before she died. Her boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, gave police a bag of Hayden’s meds, which could reveal other pills laced with the deadly drug.
And as we reported, Hayden’s West Hollywood neighbors say they saw 3 suspicious people coming to Hayden’s unit for years. They would come individually, often with a small bag. They saw Hayden open the door, take the bag and the person would leave.
Neighbors suspected the 3 people — two women and a man — were drug dealers. The man showed up with a bag the week Hayden died.
As for the text messages, there have been other cases where such messages helped authorities nab the drug dealer — notably in the Mac Miller case, where the dealer went to prison.
One fatal pill ended Hayden Panettiereâs life.

The toxicology results in Hayden’s case will not be available for at least a few weeks.
D4vd Murder Case Timeline of Alleged Texts With Celeste
Published
Prosecutors presented what they described as an 18-month text message trail between D4vd and Celeste Rivas ⊠arguing the exchanges documented the progression of their relationship from pregnancy scares, abortion discussions and plans to live together … leading up to her alleged murder.
Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman walked through messages dating back to November 2023 … when prosecutors say Celeste was 13 and D4vd — real name David Anthony Burke — was 18 — noting their initial communication began all the way back in August 2022, when Celeste was just 11.
Early texts included discussions about missed periods, ovulation tracking and pregnancy prevention — with D4vd allegedly advising her about taking emergency contraceptives such as Plan B.
Silverman showed texts from December 31, 2023 … where D4vd says to Celeste, “why not 1 band why u deserve ten,” in which Celeste responds … “10 because u f***** me ten times >.
By January 2024, prosecutors say the texts centered on a tattoo, pregnancy, and abortion.
The judge saw messages in which D4vd apologized for putting Celeste “through this,” asked when she was “gonna get it done” … later checking on what prosecutors contend was an abortion appointment, saying “you’re [so much] stronger than me baby lmao. i love you.”
In February 2024, prosecutors pointed to messages they say showed plans for Celeste to leave her parent’s home — referred to as “Operation Awesome.” The pair discussed packing duffel bags and coordinating transportation, while investigators testified her family reported her missing that same day.
The messages became increasingly explicit throughout summer 2024 ⊠with conversations about repeated sexual encounters, pregnancy scares, recording intimate videos, marriage and future children.
By late 2024 and early 2025, the relationship appeared to be unraveling. Celeste wrote she “literally had sex with u for almost a year straight,” and in March 2025 she told D4vd she wanted more than “just have sex and hang out.”
Silverman then focused on the pair’s final exchanges in April 2025 … the month prosecutors claim D4vd murdered Celeste.
After arguing over another woman — Aysia Collins — the two still arranged to meet on April 23.
That evening, Celeste texted that she was almost at D4vd’s Hollywood Hills home after he ordered her an Uber. Roughly 20 minutes later, D4vd began repeatedly texting to ask where she was — after Uber records showed she had arrived.
On cross-examination, defense attorney Blair Berk argued prosecutors ignored important context. She highlighted messages showing Celeste had represented herself as older online, threatened to kill D4vd, ruin his career and expose private information, and repeatedly pushed to see him before the April 23 meeting.
Berk argued it was Celeste — not David — who insisted on meeting that night and asked him to send the Uber.
Prosecutors claim D4vd lured Celeste to his home, fatally stabbed her and later dismembered her body before stuffing her remains inside two bags that were ultimately discovered inside his Tesla.
D4vd is charged with one count each of murder, continuous sexual abuse of a child under the age of 14, and unlawful mutilation of human remains. He has pleaded not guilty.
Mackenzie Shirilla Accused Dom of Trying to Kill Her Before Fatal Crash
Published
Mackenzie Shirilla‘s shocking text messages appear to show her accusingDominic Russo of trying to kill her … just days before the fatal crash that claimed his life.
According to text messages between Mackenzie and Dominic — released by law enforcement — Mackenzie says she believed Dominic was trying to harm her during a heated argument between the two. Investigators claimed Mackenzie and Dom got into it while she was driving erratically, just weeks before the fatal crash.
At one point in the alleged text messages, Mackenzie accuses Dom of intentionally putting her in danger by saying, “Do you think I would have my car started with you in it knowing that you just tried to kill me” … while also venting about how she wants examples of reasons why he loves her.
The alleged texts offer a deeply personal look into the coupleâs deteriorating relationship before prosecutors later argued Mackenzie intentionally drove her car into a building at high speed.
As previously reported, Mackenzie was convicted of several serious felony counts in connection with the crash, though her legal team maintained the collision was a tragic accident rather than an intentional act. She was sentenced and is currently serving 2 concurrent life sentences with the possibility of parole after 15 years for the murder of Dom and their friend Davion Flanagan.
Worth noting … the alleged texts do not prove any criminal conduct by Dominic Russo, but they could add new context to the volatile dynamic between the couple in the days before the deadly crash.
