LOS ANGELES, Sept. 29 (Our California Times) — Dublin police arrested a married couple, both 77, on suspicion of murder after their son-in-law was fatally shot at a sports complex in the California city Saturday.

Police identified the couple as Shouyong Zhang and Shili Chen, both of Dublin, and the man killed as Jonathan McKinsey, 40. Officers found McKinsey with multiple gunshot wounds in the parking lot of Dublin Sports Grounds, where he was pronounced dead, police said.

A police sergeant driving nearby saw McKinsey on the ground as witnesses called 911 and pointed out the couple, according to Dublin Police Services. Officers detained Zhang and Chen nearby within minutes and booked them into Santa Rita Jail.

Jail records showed an arraignment scheduled for Wednesday. The available accounts do not identify a court or establish whether prosecutors have filed charges. Police said the circumstances of the shooting remain under investigation and that there are no outstanding suspects or threat to public safety.
