Overview
- Footage recorded between 2 and 5 a.m. on Dec. 30 shows a hooded figure in an alley near the Tepes’ home in Columbus’ Weinland Park area, with the face obscured.
- Investigators believe Spencer, 37, and Monique Tepe, 39, were shot upstairs during that window; three 9mm shell casings were recovered.
- No firearm was found and there were no obvious signs of forced entry, and police have ruled out a murder‑suicide.
- Officers discovered the bodies after welfare-check calls when Spencer missed work; the couple’s children, ages 1 and 4, were found unharmed and are now with relatives.
- No suspect has been publicly identified; police are seeking tips, and a family member urged caution about over-interpreting the video as the case advances.
