Jonathan McKinsey, a New York Times Games engineering executive, was shot and killed Saturday afternoon in Dublin, California, and his parents-in-law were arrested on suspicion of murder within minutes, authorities said.

McKinsey, 40, was found with multiple gunshot wounds in the parking lot of the Dublin Sports Grounds and was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the City of Dublin.

A New York Times spokesperson confirmed to Fox News Digital that McKinsey served as director of engineering for New York Times Games. He had worked for the company since January 2023.

At about 3:08 p.m. local time Saturday, a Dublin Police Services sergeant driving near the sports complex spotted a man lying in the parking lot and stopped to investigate.
