‘Trans’ New York Times Executive Killed By In-Laws. They Called Him ‘Monster’

A New York Times tech executive was allegedly shot dead by his elderly in-laws at a sports park in California. Jonathan McKinsey, the Times’ head of engineering for games player experience, was reportedly engaged in a vicious war with his estranged wife and in-laws over being transgender.

McKinsey also accused Jang of abusing their children verbally. Cops have arrested his in-laws, Shouyong Zhang and Shili Chen, both 76, for the deadly shooting at a parking lot at Dublin Sports Grounds, an athletic complex and playground in Dublin, California. He also claimed that in 2013, in another altercation, his wife beat him with a frying pan. McKinsey was also reportedly charged with two counts of misdemeanour child abuse in 2025 after Jang called Dublin police to report he had hit her six-year-old son in the face with an open hand. She also accused him of bruising her arm in a 2018 altercation, the documents showed.
