Preliminary hearing continues in murder case of Detroit doctor: What's happened so far

Desmond Burks, accused of murdering Dr. Devon Hoover, a prominent Detroit neurosurgeon, is undergoing a preliminary examination. Dr. Hoover was found dead in his home in the Boston-Edison Historic District with two gunshot wounds to the head, and Burks was charged after being arrested in a separate road rage incident. During the court proceedings, witness testimonies and evidence were presented, including Burks' suspicious behavior around the time of the murder and a fingerprint on Hoover's vehicle. The court has imposed strict media coverage rules to protect witness identities, and the examination will continue with closing arguments.
