Michael David McKee, a 39-year-old vascular surgeon from Chicago, has been arrested and charged with two counts of murder in the deaths of his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer Tepe. The couple was found shot dead inside their Columbus, Ohio home on December 30, 2025. Their two young children — ages 4 and 1 — were discovered unharmed in another room.

McKee and Monique were married in August 2015 but separated after just seven months. Divorce documents obtained through public records reveal she listed her engagement ring and wedding ring as "Separate Property," stating "I paid" as the reason. The separation agreement included a clause requiring her to pay McKee $1,281.59 with 23% interest if late. She filed on grounds of incompatibility and paid for a private judge to expedite the process. Eight years later, Monique had remarried Spencer Tepe, a dentist, and built a new life. Columbus detectives tracked McKee through surveillance footage showing a vehicle near the Tepe home before and after the killings. He was arrested without incident in Rockford, Illinois. No motive has been released. McKee had no prior criminal record. His neighbor told reporters she used to chat with him poolside — "and then he turns out to be a killer."
