Jonathan McKinsey, 40, died in the East Bay suburb on a sunny afternoon, his body found behind a white SUV with its rear hatch open, according to SFGATE. A witness told authorities the aging couple took turns firing the gun.

The shooting comes after a bitter divorce between McKinsey and his wife, Candice Jang, that included competing allegations of abuse and a criminal case involving their children. Police have not said what led to the shooting, whether Jang was involved in her parents' actions, or how much the couple's daughter knew.

Killings this public and this personal are rare in a quiet East Bay suburb. A daylight shooting in a parking lot, carried out by in-laws in the middle of a custody and abuse dispute, has pulled a private family collapse into national headlines. Neighbors in Dublin are left with a case that reads less like a random crime and more like the final chapter of a marriage that had already gone through the courts once.
