Detroit police have person of interest in doctor’s shooting death

Detroit police on Friday took an unnamed, male person of interest into custody in connection with the fatal shooting of neurosurgeon Dr. Devon Hoover.

Authorities found Hoover, 53, shot dead inside his home in the Boston-Edison Historic District on Sunday. 

"Preliminarily, our investigation reveals that this is an incident where the two parties knew each other. We have no reason to believe the community is … at any risk. This was not a random act," Detroit Police Chief James White said during a Friday press conference.

He added that the shooting does not appear to be a "random" case in which the suspect or suspects may have broken into the victim's home.

"Everything points to them knowing each other, but the investigation continues," White said without elaborating on the nature of the person's relationship to Hoover.
