A young Ohio couple was gunned down inside their own home while their two small children were in another room. Dr. Spencer Tepe, a 37-year-old dentist, and his wife Monique, 39, were found dead on December 30, 2025 after Spencer failed to show up for work at Athens Dental Depot. Coworkers drove to the couple’s Weinland Park home in Columbus, heard children crying inside, and discovered Spencer’s body through a window. Police found no signs of forced entry. No firearm was recovered. Three 9mm shell casings were collected from the scene. Spencer had multiple gunshot wounds; Monique was shot at least once in the chest. Their children — a 4-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son — were found unharmed. The couple had been married since 2021 and exchanged vows inside the same house where they were killed. They were less than a month from their fifth anniversary. Columbus police have ruled out murder-suicide and are investigating this as a double homicide. A police camera near the home may hold clues, but investigators haven’t said whether it captured anything. No suspect. No motive. No answers. Detective Weiner leads the case. Anyone with information should call Columbus Homicide at 614-645-4730 or Crime Stoppers at 614-461-TIPS.
