Recently, however, D4vd removed the bloody shirt merchandise from his website amid the investigation into Hernandez’s death, according to TMZ. The singer was selling white button-down shirts splattered with fake blood for $35 on his official website, before it was removed.

Hernandez’s body was found on September 8 in the trunk of a Tesla sedan in a Hollywood Hills impound lot. The car is registered to D4vd, 20, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, according to the New York Post.

D4vd has not shared any statement yet. It remains unclear where exactly he is now, but a spokesperson for the singer previously told NBC 4 that he has been “cooperating with authorities.”
