Major developments in the Tepe family murders out of Columbus, Ohio. Police have confirmed the murder weapon was recovered from Michael McKee's Chicago residence. NIBIN — the federal ballistics database — matched shell casings from Spencer and Monique Tepe's bedroom to a firearm seized from McKee's penthouse. Multiple weapons were recovered. McKee, 39, is a vascular surgeon and Monique's ex-husband. They divorced in 2017 after a seven-month marriage. Eight years later, police say he allegedly drove 300 miles to their home and executed both of them while their children slept. The children — a 4-year-old girl and 1-year-old boy — were found alive. According to Law & Crime, McKee reportedly gave police an alibi that fell apart before his arrest. He was taken into custody at a Chick-fil-A in Rockford, Illinois by ATF agents. 

At a press conference, Chief Elaine Bryant called this a "targeted domestic violence attack." When asked if McKee had been seen near the Tepe home days before the murders, she said police couldn't share that information — but didn't deny it. The family says the arrest was "not a shock." Spencer's brother-in-law said Monique never called McKee by name. Called him a monster. Said she was always worried about him. McKee is charged with two counts of aggravated murder with prior calculation and design. He waived extradition and plans to plead not guilty. Court date is January 23rd. In Ohio, aggravated murder is death penalty eligible.
