New York Times executive shot dead in parking lot, suspects arrested

Jonathan McKinsey, head of engineering at The New York Times, was shot dead in the afternoon of September 26 in the parking lot of a sports complex in Dublin, near San Francisco. On suspicion of murder, police detained the parents of his wife, 77-year-old spouses Shouyun Zhang and Shili Chen.

Around 15:08, a police sergeant driving past the Dublin Sports Grounds complex spotted a man lying in the middle of a parking lot. Almost simultaneously, the 911 service began receiving eyewitness calls. McKinsey, 40, had multiple gunshot wounds. The doctors who arrived at the scene confirmed his death.

Witnesses helped police find the suspects. Zhang and Chen remained close to the parking lot; both were detained for several minutes and taken to the Santa Rita County Jail. Dublin police said they were not looking for any other suspects in the case. The investigation is ongoing.

According to court documents, McKinsey and his wife were divorcing and arguing over custody of the child. Earlier, the woman obtained a temporary restraining order against her husband, claiming domestic violence. The court documents also featured allegations of child abuse. These circumstances are being studied against the background of the murder, but the police have not yet named the motive for the shooting and did not say what role, according to investigators, each of the detainees played.
