Chicago Surgeon Indicted for Murder of Ex-Wife and Her Husband in Columbus
An Ohio grand jury has indicted Michael McKee, a Chicago vascular surgeon, for the December 30 murders of his ex-wife, Monique Tepe, and her husband, Dr. Spencer Tepe, in their Columbus home.
An Ohio grand jury has indicted Michael McKee, a 39-year-old vascular surgeon from Chicago, on multiple counts, including four counts of aggravated murder and one count of aggravated burglary, in connection with the deaths of his ex-wife, Monique Tepe, 39, and her husband, Dr. Spencer Tepe, 37. The couple was found fatally shot in their Columbus home on December 30, 2025.
McKee was arrested in Rockford, Illinois, on January 10, 2026. He waived his right to an extradition hearing and is awaiting transfer to Ohio to face the charges.
Investigators linked McKee to the crime through surveillance footage showing a figure near the crime scene and a firearm found in his residence that matched ballistic evidence.
The couple's two young children were found unharmed in the home.
McKee's next court appearance is scheduled for January 23 in Winnebago County, Illinois.
