NYT Games Engineer Shot by In-Laws Amid Custody Battle

Jonathan McKinsey, a 40-year-old engineering director for The New York Times, was fatally shot on September 26 in the parking lot of Dublin Sports Grounds in California. Police arrested his 77-year-old parents-in-law, Shili Chen and Shouyong Zhang, who are charged with murder and 'lying in wait.' The shooting occurred during a bitter divorce and custody dispute between McKinsey and his wife, Candice Jang. Court documents reveal years of mutual allegations of domestic violence, including claims of physical abuse and emotional torment. While prosecutors have not disclosed a motive, the defense argues McKinsey was volatile and abusive, whereas family members describe him as gentle. McKinsey had recently regained limited supervised visitation rights with his three children.

Bevin’s Warrant Recalled After Virtual Court Appearance in Family Case

An arrest warrant issued for former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin in a Jefferson County family-court dispute with his ex-wife and their adopted son Jonah was recalled after he appeared by Zoom (instead of in person) for the hearing. He faced contempt and a potential 14 days in jail or a $250 fine, which was paid, lifting the warrant. This marks his second contempt in the case; a March contempt led to a 60‑day jail sentence that the Court of Appeals later dismissed for bias-related reasons, and the Court of Appeals later said Judge Angela Johnson would remain on the case. Jonah has alleged abuse and obtained an emergency protective order; Bevin is slated back in court on July 28.

"Tragic Summerlin Shooting: Legal Representation Replacement Attempts Failed"

Prior to the tragic murder-suicide in Summerlin, concerns were raised about a potential conflict of interest in a custody dispute case involving a divorced couple and their attorneys, who were also family members. The attorneys themselves determine if there is a conflict of interest, and in this case, emotions were running high due to the sensitive nature of family court. The situation became more contentious as allegations of drug and alcohol use emerged during the custody dispute, leading to an emergency motion for sole custody filed by one of the parents.
