Attorney Says Woman Will Plead Not Guilty in Killing of Son-in-Law at California Park

Prosecutors say the couple lay in wait and killed their son-in-law, and they face murder and gun charges that could bring life without parole.

  • On Saturday, Dublin residents Shili Chen and Shouyong Zhang, both 77, allegedly shot and killed their 40-year-old son-in-law, New York Times engineer Jonathan McKinsey, at the Dublin Sports Grounds.
  • The killing followed a contentious divorce and custody battle involving McKinsey and his wife, Candice Jang, which included competing restraining orders and allegations of physical and emotional abuse spanning more than a decade.
  • Witnesses observed the couple fleeing in a black Honda Civic, leading police to recover two firearms; surveillance video reportedly showed them shooting McKinsey "in concert" at the crowded sports complex.
  • Following their brief arraignment at the East County Hall of Justice on Wednesday, a judge ordered the pair held without bail at Santa Rita Jail pending further proceedings.
  • Attorneys for the couple indicated Thursday that their defense will focus on McKinsey's alleged violent behavior toward his family as Chen and Zhang remain in custody awaiting trial.
