Neo Langston cooperated fully when he appeared before a Los Angeles County grand jury investigating the death of Celeste Rivas, telling prosecutors he had nothing to hide and never invoked his Fifth Amendment rights, according to sources with direct knowledge of the proceedings.
Sources say Langston answered every question posed by Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman, who is leading the presentation of evidence in the case. His testimony, however, lasted only about 40 minutes — a relatively brief appearance that initially raised speculation he may have declined to answer certain questions.
That assumption now appears incorrect. Insiders tell TMZ that Langston was forthcoming throughout, insisting he had no involvement in Rivas’s disappearance and no meaningful knowledge about the circumstances surrounding her death or the potential role of D4vd, who remains the prime suspect.
Langston’s cooperation comes after a dramatic lead-up to his testimony. Prosecutors had him arrested in Montana and returned to Los Angeles after he allegedly failed to appear before the grand jury. Investigators had also been exploring whether Langston accompanied D4vd on a late-night trip to a remote area of Santa Barbara last spring — a detail sources now say has been ruled out.
Despite his claims of having no relevant information, Langston’s brief testimony has raised questions. Silverman has reportedly taken an aggressive approach with other witnesses, including grilling D4vd’s manager for nearly two days. The comparatively short duration of Langston’s appearance may suggest he had little to offer investigators.
Still, Langston hinted at a deeper narrative outside the courtroom. In a post shared to his private Instagram story, he wrote, “There is more to the story than what’s on the news,” suggesting he may know more than he disclosed publicly.
One thing appears certain: Langston has distanced himself from his former associate. In the same post, he referred to D4vd with an insult, signaling a clear break as the investigation into Rivas’s death continues.#newsafro_
