A man arrested in May after he was accused of fatally punching a 67-year-old driver in a road rage incident has now been charged in the murder of a beloved Detroit neurosurgeon found dead in his home last year. Desmond Burks, 34, was charged this week with first-degree murder, felony murder, larceny and other crimes in the April 2023 shooting of Dr. Devon Hoover. The murder rocked the community, and many people including former patients, family members and friends expressed their shock and grief. A Facebook page titled “Justice for Dr. Devon Hoover” was inundated with memories of the doctor. When authorities charged Burks in Hoover’s death, he had already been in jail on a second-degree murder charge in the death of Reda Saleh.
