Officers found Reda Saleh, 67, of Dearborn, lying unresponsive and suffering from a head injury in a street near West Chicago Street and Greenfield Road.

Saleh was taken to a nearby hospital where he remained until he died from his injuries on May 11, according to the prosecutor's office.

Desmond Burks, 33, was charged with second-degree murder. He was placed in jail with a $1 million bond. If he is released from jail, he must wear a GPS tether and live under house arrest, according to the prosecutor's office. His next court date is scheduled for May 24.
