  1. uh oh they killing rich people now

  2. So sad. The amount of skill and dedication necessary is incredibly valuable and important. What a heartbreaking loss.

  3. Starting the patients & their families for sure.

    The real estate agent & theirs as well.

    I also know he would most likely take to regenerative medicine such as embryonic stem cell therapy via an incubator quite readily.

  4. Forever Rest in Peace Dr. Devon Hoover. ✝

  5. Things aren’t always what they seem.

  6. I guess the shooter got his bill and wasn't too happy with it.

  7. And it begins, more shooting coverages again. Indicators that elections are around the corner

  8. That’s the risk of living in Detroit I guess

  9. How do you not have a camera in this day and age?!

  10. Tragic. But it's Detroit, and that's all anyone needs to know. He might have been better off trying to live up-scale in Haiti.

  11. If there is nothing of value missing and it wasn’t a break in….this seem very personal.
    I get the feeling we are gonna find out more about this doctors personal life that isn’t as rosey as his outward appearance.

  12. All it takes for evil to win is for good people to do nothing.

  13. He did nothing he crossed someone to get shot

  14. Could be an ex patient’s family member.maybe they blame him hummmm

  15. Nope. What did he do?

  16. oooo I can't wait for the details to come out about this one

  17. That's heartbreaking, he sounds like a kind hearted doctor. RIP. Condolences to his family.
    I hope they caught the culprit

  18. don't tell me to be quiet , bria

  19. i bet he was on to something that was going to be a breakthrough and someone didn't like that

  20. rest in peace doc, rest easy my hero.

  21. 💔💔💔This is Very Awful!!!!💔💔💔

  22. Who did he owe money to? In the attic.. this should be interesting..

  23. If people are getting shot there, it might be a #FakeAttic. It's certainly not an attic where I remember I was getting shot before I left (and also isn't -here-, unless this is an attic).

  24. What a Handsome Guy

  25. Horrible, may he RIP; but how is this newsworthy to most of us?

  26. A Beautiful Mind wasn’t a good reference. The man character was insane.

  27. sounds like a horror story
