Desmond Burks, a 34-year-old convicted felon, has been charged with the premeditated murder of Dr. Devon Hoover, a prominent neurosurgeon found dead in his Detroit home in April 2023. Authorities allege Burks shot Hoover twice in the back of the head and subsequently stole over $95,000 in cash and valuables from him. The investigation spanned multiple states and countries, revealing that Burks had an 'intimate relationship' with Hoover and occasionally charged him for sexual services. Hoover's body was discovered wrapped in a blood-soaked carpet in the attic after family members requested a welfare check. In addition to murder charges, Burks faces multiple charges including larceny and firearm possession. The case highlights the tragedy of Hoover's death, which has left a significant void in the community, as expressed by his grieving family.
