Ohio Violent Crime

Michael David McKee, 39, a vascular surgeon and the ex‑husband of Monique Tepe, was arrested in Illinois, extradited to Ohio and charged with multiple counts of aggravated premeditated murder and aggravated burglary in the Dec. 30 slayings of Monique and her husband, Columbus dentist Dr. Spencer Tepe; investigators say surveillance and license‑plate video tied McKee’s vehicle to the neighborhood, multiple firearms were seized in Illinois and a preliminary NIBIN ballistic hit links one recovered weapon to shell casings found at the scene, where the couple’s two young children were unharmed. Police have released footage showing a person of interest walking in an alley near the home the night of the killings (now identified as McKee), have noted no obvious signs of forced entry and described the case as domestic‑violence related, and jail booking video shows McKee appearing calm as he was processed; he has pleaded not guilty and faces indictment specifications including alleged use of a suppressor.
