Desmond Burks sentenced for Detroit neurosurgeon Dr. Devon Hoover’s murder, road rage death

Desmond Burks was sentenced to 35-60 years for the murder of Dr. Devon Hoover, a Detroit neurosurgeon, and 10-15 years for the road rage death of Reda Saleh. Despite pleading guilty to multiple charges, Burks maintained his innocence during sentencing, claiming he did not kill Hoover or intend to harm Saleh. Hoover was found dead in his home with evidence suggesting a close relationship with Burks, and his belongings were discovered in Burks' possession. Burks was linked to both crimes through extensive investigations that included witness testimonies, forensic evidence, and electronic data.
