US EditionIllinois surgeon charged in Ohio couple’s killings is due in court
Michael McKee faces four aggravated murder charges after a targeted domestic violence attack killed his ex-wife and her husband in their Columbus home, authorities said.
- On Friday, Michael David McKee, 39, is scheduled to be arraigned in Franklin County on four murder counts and one burglary charge tied to the Dec. 30 deaths of Monique Tepe, 39, and Dr. Spencer Tepe, 37.
- Court records show Michael David McKee is Monique Tepe's ex-husband, and the case first drew national attention because authorities reported no forced entry, no weapon and no obvious motive.
- Investigators say neighborhood video surveillance and vehicle tracked to McKee showed the car arriving shortly before and leaving shortly after the shootings, with multiple weapons recovered and a Chicago apartment gun matching ballistics at the scene.
- Prosecutors charged him with two aggravated murder counts per victim and aggravated burglary; if convicted, McKee faces minimum life with parole eligibility after 32 years and maximum life without parole, while his public defender said he plans to plead not guilty after extradition waiver.
- The Franklin County Coroner's Office ruled the deaths an apparent homicide by gunshot wounds, while family members and joint obituaries described the Tepes as extraordinary community members with Spencer Tepe's dental credentials noted.
