California couple accused of killing son-in-law in public park have been charged with murder
Prosecutors say the killing followed a bitter custody fight and prior abuse allegations involving the couple’s three children.
- On Saturday, 77-year-olds Shouyong Zhang and Shili Chen shot their son-in-law, Jonathan McKinsey, in a Dublin parking lot, and authorities charged the couple with first-degree murder.
- The marriage between McKinsey and wife Candice Jang had devolved into a bitter divorce and custody battle over their three children, marked by years of competing physical and emotional abuse allegations.
- Witnesses alerted police to the shooting at the Dublin Sports Grounds, and officers arrested Zhang and Chen at the intersection of Dublin Boulevard and Civic Plaza within minutes.
- Zhang and Chen are scheduled for arraignment on Wednesday morning in Dublin, and officials booked the couple into Santa Rita Jail, where they remain held without bail.
- At the time of his death, McKinsey, a 40-year-old engineering director for The New York Times, was out on bail facing child abuse charges and seeking entry into a mental health diversion program.
