Hoover knew his killer, which is why there was no forced entry into the home, but an important distinction to be made is that the person in custody is in custody on an unrelated warrant.
“We’re confident that the person has information on what transpired,” said Detroit Police Chief James White.
Police aren’t calling the man taken into custody around 12:15 a.m. a suspect yet. But the two did know each other.
Mara MacDonald: “Are you comfortable characterizing the nature of the relationship at this time?”
White: “I am not comfortable doing that at this point. I think that it would be irresponsible for me to do that until I know a little bit more information. Right now, though, we are happy to have a person of interest who we could question. We are confident as a police agency that this person knows something about what occurred.”
Detroit police confirmed a person of interest had been taken into custody in the death of Dr. Devon Hoover.
