Police descended on the gated-community home of Candice Jang, the estranged wife of slain New York Times technology executive Jonathan McKinsey, on Tuesday night. Multiple officers were seen entering the residence while Jang’s parents remained jailed in connection with the fatal shooting.
Video recorded Tuesday showed officers arriving at a group of townhomes inside the community at about 7 p.m.
The officers repeatedly knocked on the door before someone opened it from inside.
Police then entered the residence one at a time and left by approximately 9 p.m.
No arrests were reported during the operation, and officers did not remove any property from the home.
The search came days after McKinsey, 40, was allegedly shot and killed in Northern California. His elderly Chinese in-laws, Shouyong Zhang and Shili Chen, both 77, have been accused in the case.
According to police, the shooting occurred around 3 p.m. Saturday in the parking lot of Dublin Sports Grounds.
Witnesses told investigators that Zhang and Chen allegedly fired at McKinsey in succession.

The New York Times confirmed McKinsey was the victim. He had joined the newspaper in 2023 and served as its head of engineering for games player experience.
At the time of his death, McKinsey and Jang were involved in a contentious custody dispute concerning their children.
Court records reviewed by The Post indicate that Alameda County prosecutors charged McKinsey with two misdemeanor counts of child abuse in 2025.
In a restraining-order filing against Jang, McKinsey stated that Chen had visited the couple in 2023 to care for their children.
Other court documents say the grandmother accused of fatally shooting her transgender New York Times executive son-in-law claimed he had influenced her grandson to wear his sister’s dresses.
Lovell Garner, McKinsey’s cousin, told The California Post that relatives were still trying to come to terms with the killing.
“Well, it’s all still pretty fresh for me still,” Garner said. “So far, everyone in my immediate family is completely shocked. It seems obvious that they were done with him since they killed him. Not sure what would make them do something that extreme.”
Zhang and Chen remain in custody as authorities continue investigating McKinsey’s death.
