Streamer Neo Arrested on Warrant Amid Celeste Rivas Murder Probe
Neo Langston, known as streamer Neo, was arrested in Helena, Montana, on a warrant for failing to appear as a witness. He has since been released on $60,000 bail. His apprehension comes amidst an ongoing grand jury investigation in Los Angeles into the death of Celeste Rivas, an inquiry led by the Los Angeles Police Department's Robbery-Homicide Division.
Arrest and Legal Proceedings
Neo Langston was apprehended in Helena, Montana, on Thursday. The arrest was based on an out-of-jurisdiction warrant issued by authorities in Los Angeles, citing a felony charge of failure to appear as a witness. Following his arrest, Langston was initially held without bond.
After a court appearance in Montana on Friday morning, Langston's transfer to Los Angeles commenced. He was subsequently booked at the LAPD Metropolitan Detention Center on Friday around 11:30 PM and held on $60,000 bail. Langston was later released after posting the required bail amount. Law enforcement in Helena, Montana, confirmed their assistance to the Los Angeles Police Department's Robbery-Homicide Division in facilitating the arrest.
Celeste Rivas Murder Investigation
Langston's arrest is connected to a broader investigation into the murder of Celeste Rivas, which is being led by the Los Angeles Police Department's Robbery-Homicide Division.
A grand jury has been convened in Los Angeles since November to examine the Rivas case, with multiple witnesses having already provided testimony.
It remains unconfirmed whether Langston's specific warrant for failing to appear as a witness is directly related to the Celeste Rivas investigation. Langston is known as an associate of musician D4vd, and their friendship has been documented on social media. Sources indicate that D4vd is considered a potential subject in the ongoing murder investigation.
Previous Grand Jury Testimony
In connection with the Rivas case grand jury, D4vd's day-to-day manager, Robert Morgenroth, provided testimony over several days last month. A reporter observed Morgenroth discussing with his lawyer in a courtroom hallway that prosecutor Beth Silverman had been persistent in her questioning regarding why he did not contact the police.
Morgenroth reportedly stated that contacting the police was not his responsibility and that his primary role was to ensure D4vd's tour continued.
