Overview
- A Franklin County grand jury indicted Michael David McKee on four counts of aggravated murder and one count of aggravated burglary, with firearm and suppressor specifications.
- McKee waived extradition in Illinois and was transferred Tuesday to the Franklin County Jail in Columbus, according to sheriff’s officials.
- Detectives say neighborhood video and license-plate evidence tied a vehicle near the crime scene to McKee, leading to his arrest by ATF agents at a Chick-fil-A in Rockford, Illinois.
- Investigators recovered firearms from McKee’s property, and a preliminary NIBIN hit links one weapon to three 9mm shell casings found inside the Tepes’ home; full forensic testing continues.
- Through counsel, McKee has pleaded not guilty and invoked his Fifth Amendment right, while police describe the Dec. 30 shootings as a targeted, domestic-violence related attack with no forced entry and no gun recovered at the scene.
