  "summary": "A 40-year-old New York Times technology executive, Jonathan McKinsey, was shot dead at a California sports complex on Saturday, with his wife's parents, Shouyong Zhang and Shili Chen, both 77, arrested in connection with the killing. Zhang and Chen, who are being held on suspicion of murder and additional charges including first-degree murder, felony conspiracy, and child endangerment, were booked into Alameda County's Santa Rita Jail. McKinsey, who joined The New York Times in 2023 after a career spanning Nasa, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Oracle, Coursera, UKG, and Splunk, was described as a senior engineering manager for the games platform before moving into games player experience. He was promoted to director of engineering for games player experience in late 2025, leading a 25-member team. McKinsey earned a master's degree in computer science from the University of California, Berkeley.",
