Cartier watches, Fairlane Mall purchases link suspect to murder of Detroit neurosurgeon

Prosecutors are building a case against Desmond Burks, accused of murdering Detroit neurosurgeon Dr. Devon Hoover. Burks, who was financially struggling, appeared wealthy soon after the murder, raising suspicions with his sudden access to cash and luxury items, including Cartier watches linked to Hoover. Witnesses testified about Burks' altered behavior, financial inconsistencies, and involvement in suspicious activities post-murder, such as seeking a chop shop and admitting to using Hoover’s credit card for personal shopping. Video evidence and witness accounts further implicate Burks, as he was seen making cash purchases and wearing one of the stolen watches.
