A New York Times executive, Jonathan McKinsey, 40, was fatally shot at a park in California's Bay Area on Saturday, with police announcing that his in-laws, Shouyong Zhang, 77, and Shili Chen, 77, were arrested in connection with the murder. McKinsey, who oversaw engineering and gaming player experiences at The New York Times, was discovered with multiple gunshot wounds at Dublin Sports Grounds in Dublin, Alameda County, shortly after 3 pm.
He was pronounced dead at the scene. Witnesses alerted police, leading to the arrest of the couple, who are currently being held at Santa Rita Jail pending charges. The shooting unfolded amidst a domestic dispute involving McKinsey and his wife, Candice Jang, as revealed by court documents. In 2022, a judge issued a temporary restraining order against McKinsey for domestic violence, and McKinsey subsequently filed for divorce in December, with a hearing set for next month.
A private child custody evaluator was appointed by the court in August. McKinsey, who earned his bachelor's degree from Georgia Tech and a master's degree in computer science from UC Berkeley, joined The New York Times in 2023.
