DUBLIN, Calif. (KRON) -- Police arrested a married couple for the suspected murder of a Dublin man found shot to death in a parking lot on Saturday. The suspects are the victim's parents-in-law, police announced Sunday.

Dublin police found a man shot to death in the parking lot of Dublin Sports Grounds, located right across the street from the police station at 6700 Dublin Boulevard near Civic Plaza. An officer saw the victim, identified as Jonathan McKinsey, 40, of Dublin, lying on the ground and immediately stopped to investigate. He was pronounced dead at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds.

McKinsey was head of engineering for New York Times Games. According to a spokesperson for the Times, he worked there for over three years.

With the help of witnesses, police were able to arrest two suspects. On Sunday, officials identified the suspects as Shouyong Zhang, 77, and Shili Chen, 77, both of Dublin. They are McKinsey's parents-in-law.

(Dublin police said Sunday the suspects are 77 years old, but county jail records state they are 76, turning 77 on Sept. 30. They were both born on 9/30/1949.)
