DETROIT – Officials will be holding a press conference Wednesday, Aug. 7, to share updates on the investigation into the 2023 murder of a well-known neurosurgeon at Ascension Hospital.
Dr. Devon Hoover was shot several times in the head at his house in Detroit’s Boston Edison District on April 23, 2023. Police found Hoover’s body wrapped in a sheet in the attic, and said the killer carried the body there.
