In late December 2025, two individuals, Spencer Tepe, a dentist, and his wife Monique Tepe, were found dead in their Columbus, Ohio home due to apparent gunshot wounds. The police were alerted by concerned friends and colleagues of Spencer, who reported his absence from work. Upon arrival, authorities discovered Spencer and Monique suffering from gunshot wounds; they were pronounced deceased shortly afterwards. Evidence eventually pointed to Michael David McKee, Monique's ex-husband, who was traced through surveillance video and his vehicle linked to the scene at the estimated time of the crime. He was arrested on January 10, 2026, in Illinois, and charged with two counts of murder. The tragic event left their two young children unharmed but orphaned, resulting in community support and a GoFundMe campaign for their future. As details emerged, the motive behind the double homicide remains unclear, leaving family members and the community in sorrow over the loss of the couple, who were approaching their five-year wedding anniversary just prior to the incident. The Tepe family expressed their commitment to seeking justice and thanked law enforcement for their efforts toward apprehending the suspect.
