Michael David McKee was arrested on Saturday, accused of fatally shooting his ex-wife and her dentist husband at their home in Columbus, Ohio, in late December.
Police responded to the home in Weinland Park on the morning of Dec. 30, after Spencer Tepe didn’t show up for work and found the 37-year-old dentist and Monique Tepe, 39, both dead of gunshot wounds.
McKee, 39, is a vascular surgeon who lives in Chicago, where he was taken into custody on Saturday.

He and Tepe were married from 2015, until she filed for divorce in 2017, which appeared to be amicable, according to the Columbus Dispatch. He was living in Virginia at the time the divorce was finalized.
Tepe and her husband were just about to celebrate their fifth anniversary when they were killed, a family member told WSYX.
McKee was booked at the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office in Illinois just before noon on Saturday, records show, and is charged with two counts of murder in Ohio.
Police tracked McKee through his vehicle, which was caught on neighborhood surveillance feeds, later finding it near where he worked in Rockford, Illinois, court documents said.
His car was seen arriving shortly before the time the murders were believed to have been committed and left shortly after, according to court documents.
A warrant was put out for his arrest on Saturday, shortly before he was taken into custody.

He will next be extradited to Franklin County, Ohio, and is scheduled for a hearing there on Jan. 12, according to the Dispatch.
Police have not given a motive in the shooting.
Before his arrest, a surveillance video allegedly showed McKee, then unidentified, as a person of interest in the murders, after he was seen walking in an alley around the believed time of the murders — 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. on Dec. 30.
