New York Times’ tech exec is shot dead by his elderly Chinese in-laws at California sports complex

A New York Times tech executive has been shot dead allegedly by his elderly in-laws in California, The Post can reveal.

Jonathan McKinsey, 40, the newspaper’s head of engineering for games player experience, was killed by Shouyong Zhang and Shili Chen, both 77, in the parking lot of Dublin Sports Grounds around 3.p.m Saturday, per police.

Officers patrolling the area spotted McKinsey with multiple gunshot wounds as emergency dispatch began receiving a flood of 911 calls.

First responders attempted aid, but he died at the scene. Witnesses reported seeing two masked assailants approach McKinsey in the lot. The witnesses say the shooters took turns unloading bullets into the victim before they were quickly arrested by a passing cop.

Nathan Wu, whose LinkedIn says he worked at UC Berkeley, wrote in a comment on his LinkedIn on Sunday: “Rip buddy.”

Zhang, who stands 5-foot-8 and weighs 165 pounds, allegedly carried out the attack alongside his wife, who measures just 5-foot-2 and weighs a mere 110 pounds, according to Alameda County Sheriff’s Office inmate records.

Zhang and Chen were booked into Alameda County’s Santa Rita Jail on suspicion of murder.

According to Alameda County Sheriff’s Office inmate records, the couple is looking at a whole stack of serious charges, including first-degree murder, felony conspiracy, dangerously firing a gun, and child endangerment that could’ve caused major injury or death.
