Summary
Shili Chen and Shouyong Zhang, both 77, were charged with murder in the fatal shooting of Jonathan McKinsey, 40, after witnesses identified the couple at a Dublin, California park.
Court records show the killing came days before an Oct. 10 divorce status hearing and after McKinsey had accused his mother-in-law of using anti-trans slurs against him and one of his children.
Those records also describe a bitter family conflict: McKinsey and his wife, Candice Jang, had obtained protection orders against each other and traded abuse allegations involving their children and past assaults.
Police said a passing sergeant found McKinsey dead Saturday as 911 calls came in, but investigators have not publicly identified a motive.
