A memorial of roses and sunflowers is growing outside of Spencer and Monique Tepe’s Weinland Park home, as Columbus police continue to investigate a double homicide.

Officers responded to the home on N. 4th Street on Tuesday morning for a welfare check. Inside, a family friend and police found Spencer Tepe, 37, and Monique Tepe, 39, dead from gunshot wounds.

Police said there were no obvious signs of forced entry, and no firearm was found at the scene. At this time, authorities do not believe the incident was a murder-suicide.

The welfare check was requested after Tepe failed to show up for work at Athens Dental Depot, where he worked as a dentist. Athens Dental Depot owner, Dr. Mark Valrose, called 911, telling dispatchers that Tepe was always punctual and had not contacted anyone about being absent.

“He is always on time and he would contact us if there was any issues,” Valrose told dispatchers. “I don’t know how else to say this but we are very very concerned. This is very out of character for him. We can’t get in touch with his wife which is probably the more concerning thing.”
