Police conducted a raid at the home of Candice Jang, the estranged wife of murdered New York Times tech executive Paul McKinsey, on Tuesday. The raid followed a shooting incident on Saturday where witnesses claim that Zhang and Chen took turns firing shots at McKinsey in Dublin Sports Grounds parking lot around 3 p.m. Court documents indicate that McKinsey’s parents are now in jail as suspects in the case. Additionally, court records show that McKinsey was previously charged with misdemeanor child abuse in 2025 by Alameda prosecutors and that a restraining order against Jang mentioned Chen visiting to watch their children in 2023.

Story summary
Jonathan McKinsey, 40, the head of engineering for games player experience at New York Times, was shot dead in the parking lot of Dublin Sports Grounds on Saturday around 3pm. Eyewitnesses reported seeing two masked assailants, identified as his elderly Chinese in-laws, Shouyong Zhang and Shili Chen, both 77, take turns shooting McKinsey. The couple were arrested shortly after by a passing police officer.
McKinsey had been working at the New York Times since 2023. Police are investigating potential motives including allegations of child abuse and domestic violence against his wife, Candice Jang. Court documents revealed conflicts over being transgender and McKinsey's alleged mistreatment of their children. The elderly couple faces charges of murder, felony conspiracy, child endangerment, and dangerously firing a gun.
The incident shocked the local community due to its brutality in broad daylight near families with children. McKinsey’s body was found lying in the parking lot, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. An arraignment is scheduled for Wednesday.
