UPDATE
Michael David McKee has been arrested, according to Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office records in Illinois.
The Columbus Dispatch reports that he’ll remain behind bars in Winnebago County until extradition to Franklin County, Ohio.
He’s scheduled for a hearing on January 12.
Initial Coverage
Charges have been filed in connection with the deaths of Monique Tepe and her husband, Ohio dentist Spencer Tepe; both were found fatally shot inside their Columbus home.
Michael David McKee, 39, of Chicago, is currently facing two counts of murder, according to a warrant issued on January 10.
Records from the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas court identified McKee as Monique’s former husband, according to WBNS 10.
Investigators linked McKee to the murders through neighborhood security footage in the Tepe couple’s Columbus neighborhood.
As CrimeOnline previously reported, the victims were found fatally shot inside their residence off of North 4th Street, after a family friend became concerned when Spencer failed to show up to his Athens dental practice.
The couple’s two children, ages 1 and 4, were found unharmed inside the residence.
The murders happened at some point between 2 and 5 a.m. that morning, according to police.
Court documents indicated that police also connected McKee “to a vehicle which arrived just prior to the homicides and left shortly after.”
Investigators later found the vehicle in Rockford, Illinois. They also found evidence that McKee had access to the vehicle.
The motive is currently unknown. Check back for updates.
