A Dublin police sergeant was driving near the sports complex Saturday afternoon when he spotted a man lying on the ground in the parking lot, according to a police news release. Dispatchers were fielding 911 calls about the same incident at the same time, police said. Officers arrived to find McKinsey at the scene.
Police have not released additional details about what led up to the shooting or what charges the couple may face. The investigation is active, and authorities in Dublin have not said whether the couple was taken into custody or what relationship issues, if any, preceded the killing.
For a family, a Saturday at a sports complex ended with a homicide investigation instead. Kids and parents usually gather there for games and practices, not a crime scene. The case also raises questions about what pushed an in-law relationship to violence, questions police have not yet answered publicly.
