New York Times executive fatally shot in California, officials say

Police in Northern California are investigating the circumstances around the killing of a 40-year-old New York Times executive who was fatally shot by his in-laws in a parking lot over the weekend, officials said. Officers found Jonathan McKinsey, a resident of Dublin, Calif., in the parking lot with gunshot wounds and pronounced him dead at the scene, according to the release. McKinsey was director of engineering for New York Times Games, the company confirmed. He had worked there for more than three years. McKinsey previously worked as an engineering manager at Splunk and UKG, according to his LinkedIn profile. He received a bachelor's degree at Georgia Tech in 2010 and a master's degree from UC Berkeley in 2015. The shooting took place amid a bitter divorce between McKinsey, who was facing a child abuse case, and his wife, Candice Jang, according to reporting by the San Francisco Chronicle.
