Share and Follow

Michael McKee, a surgeon from the Chicago area, is now entangled in a web of serious legal accusations, including the murder of his former wife, Monique Tepe, and her current husband, Spencer Tepe. The case has taken a dramatic turn as new charges have been brought against him.

The Columbus Dispatch reports that a jury in Franklin County, Ohio, has indicted McKee on four counts of aggravated murder and one count of aggravated burglary. This development underscores the gravity of the allegations against him.

Court documents reveal that McKee is accused of using an automatic firearm or a silencer to execute the double murder. This chilling detail adds a layer of complexity to an already harrowing case.

Investigators have disclosed that three 9mm shell casings were discovered at the scene of the crime, according to FOX News Digital. This evidence could play a crucial role in piecing together the events that led to the tragic deaths.

As previously reported by CrimeOnline, the murder occurred on December 30, nearly a decade after McKee’s divorce from Monique. The Tepes, who were nearing their fifth wedding anniversary, were shot at approximately 3:52 a.m., leaving the community in shock and demanding answers.

After killing the couple in the upstairs area of the Columbus, Ohio, home, McKee fled in a vehicle that helped police match him to the scene, according to law enforcement.

Security footage obtained from the couple’s Weinland Park neighborhood showed a man that investigators believed to have been McKee, in the area between 2 a.m. to 5 a.m., on the morning in question.

An affidavit indicated that McKee likely carried out the murders at 3:52 a.m.

Under Ohio law, a burglary charge includes trespassing “in an occupied structure,” which doesn’t have to include taking something from the home.

A court date is pending. Check back for updates.
