Home Where Spencer and Monique Tepe Were Killed Listed for $775,000 as Murder Case Heads to April Hearing

COLUMBUS — The Weinland Park home where Spencer and Monique Tepe were fatally shot in December has been listed for sale at $775,000, drawing tens of thousands of online views within days of the listing going live, according to real estate records.

The property sits on the 1400 block of North Fourth Street in Columbus, just north of downtown and south of Ohio State University. The Zillow listing had received more than 15,500 views within days of being posted the week of March 9. The real estate agent representing the property declined to comment.

The $775,000 asking price is significantly higher than the neighborhood’s median home sale price, which recent housing data places at roughly $382,500. The four-bedroom, four-bathroom home spans 2,530 square feet across three floors and includes a detached garage and fenced yard.

What Happened in December

Police found Spencer and Monique Tepe dead inside the home on Dec. 30, 2025, after Spencer failed to show up for work and colleagues called for a welfare check. A 911 call came in shortly after 10 a.m. Both were pronounced dead at the scene. The couple’s two young children were found unharmed inside the home, along with the family dog.

The Franklin County Coroner’s Office determined that Monique Tepe suffered nine gunshot wounds and Spencer Tepe suffered seven. Investigators recovered three spent 9mm shell casings and reported no signs of forced entry.

The Suspect

Authorities arrested Michael McKee, 39, on Jan. 10, 2026. McKee is Monique Tepe’s ex-husband and was working as a vascular surgeon in Rockford at the time of his arrest. Federal agents took him into custody.

A Franklin County grand jury indicted McKee on four counts of aggravated murder and one count of aggravated burglary. According to the indictment, prosecutors allege the suspect used a firearm equipped with a suppressor. McKee pleaded not guilty at a Jan. 23 court appearance and is currently held in the Franklin County Jail. His next hearing is scheduled for April 16 in Franklin County.

If convicted on the aggravated murder charges, McKee could face life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Background on the Case

Investigators previously said surveillance footage and vehicle tracking data linked a car connected to McKee to the neighborhood during the early morning hours of the killings. Police have described the attack as targeted and domestic violence-related.

Court records show McKee and Monique Tepe were married in 2015 and divorced in 2017. She later married Spencer Tepe in 2020, according to obituary records.

Michael McKee has pleaded not guilty. The charges against him are allegations until proven in court.
