Police seek answers nearly a week after Weinland Park double homicide

Columbus police have released video of a person of interest in connection with the deaths of a couple who were shot inside their Weinland Park home last week. Police said the person of interest was walking in the alley near Spencer and Monique Tepe's home on the night of the shooting. No arrests have been made and investigators have not named any suspects in the deaths of Spencer and Monique. The couple was found Tuesday morning inside their home on North 4th Street near East 8th Avenue. Police have released few details about the investigation but said they are focusing on activity between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. Authorities are asking anyone with surveillance cameras or information from the area to come forward anonymously. A memorial outside the Tepe home continues to grow. Rob Misleh, Spencer’s brother-in-law, said the couple and their home were a gathering place for family and friends. “We are all dealing with something that one week ago from today we literally would have no idea this would be happening,” Misleh said. Misleh said the family is exhausted, devastated and still in shock. He said the couple’s 4-year-old daughter and 17-month-old son, who were not harmed, are doing well. “The kids are doing very well. They are young enough to not fully understand the gravity of this situation,” Misleh said. Misleh said the family hopes the investigation leads to justice. “Nothing can ever bring them back, but getting the justice that Mo and Spencer so deserve, finding whatever monster is capable of doing something like this, I think it would make not just our family, but a lot of people be able to feel a little bit safer,” he said. As police continue their investigation, Misleh said the family is focused on planning funerals and honoring Spencer and Monique, whom he described as bright, warm and loving. “Their house in Columbus was just like a center for us to join them and they were the glue of so many people and such a large community that they brought together,” Misleh said. “They are just so loving and welcoming to people. I have life-long friends now that I never knew because of those two people.” The family has set up a GoFundMe to create a trust for the children. Misleh said the response has been overwhelming. “We’ll put this into a trust for the kids, we’ll figure out how this is going to benefit the kids,” he said. “We also really want to be charitable about it. Spencer was very involved in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program.” The fundraiser has raised nearly $150,000. Misleh said the support means more than the money itself. “We need to trust the process of the investigators,” Misleh said. “In the world we live in, we need everything now, now, now, but this isn’t an episode of TV. This is real people’s lives and they are taking the time to do all their due diligence.”
