A married couple in California have been charged with murder for fatally shooting their son-in-law in a public park on Saturday.

カリフォルニア州の夫婦が、土曜日に公共公園において義理の息子を射殺したとして殺人罪で起訴された。

This occurred merely days before the son and the couple's daughter were due to appear at a hearing in their acrimonious divorce proceedings.

それは、息子と夫婦の娘が激しい離婚訴訟の審問を目前に控えていた、わずか数日前のことであった。

Both Siri Chen and Shouyong Jiang, each aged 77, had been scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday to enter pleas to the charges against them.

シリ・チェンとショウヨン・ジャン(いずれも77歳)の両名は、水曜日、起訴事実に対する答弁をなすべく法廷に出廷する運びとなっていた。

Prior to their court appearance, there had been no means of reaching the couple's attorney.

裁判所への出廷に先んじて、夫妻の弁護士と連絡を取る術はなかった。

Their daughter, Candice Jiang, likewise could not be reached, though she did attend Wednesday's hearing virtually.

娘のキャンディス・ジャンとも連絡は取れなかったが、彼女は水曜日の審問にはバーチャルで出席した。

Jonathan McKinzie, a 40-year-old gaming engineer for The New York Times, was shot and killed in the parking lot of a sports complex located in Dublin, east of San Francisco.

ニューヨーク・タイムズ紙のゲーミングエンジニア、40歳のジョナサン・マッキンジーは、サンフランシスコ東部のダブリンに位置するスポーツ複合施設の駐車場において銃撃を受け命を落とした。

According to the Dublin police, officers patrolling the vicinity observed him lying on the ground, and witnesses, having called 911, pointed out a couple who were still lingering near the scene.

ダブリン警察によれば、付近を巡回していた警察官が彼が地面に倒れているのを目撃し、目撃者たちは911に通報するとともに、現場付近に依然として留まっていた夫婦を指し示した。

According to what court records reveal, McKinzie's killing occurred amid an escalating divorce dispute with Jean and a battle over custody of their three young children.

裁判記録が明らかにするところによれば、マッキンジーの殺害は、ジャンとの離婚係争が激化し、3人の幼い子供たちの親権をめぐる争いの最中に生じた。

In a restraining order petition filed last year, the couple had accused each other of more than a decade of physical, emotional, and psychological abuse.

昨年提出された接近禁止命令の申立てにおいて、夫婦は互いに10年以上にわたる身体的、感情的、心理的虐待を非難し合っていた。

McKinzie, who is transgender, alleged that he had suffered verbal and physical abuse from both Jean and his parents over the gender transition he underwent several years ago.

トランスジェンダーであるマッキンジーは、数年前に遂行した性別移行をめぐり、ジャンと両親の双方から言葉および身体的な虐待を蒙ったと主張した。

In the application for a protective order, McKinzie alleged that Chen had directed anti-LGBTQ slurs at him and his eldest son.

保護命令の申立てにおいて、マッキンジーは、チェンが彼および長男に対して反LGBTQ的な中傷を浴びせたと主張した。

He further alleged that Jean had subjected him to physical and psychological abuse over the course of the medical procedures accompanying her gender transition.

彼はさらに、ジャンが自身の性別移行に付随する医学的処置の過程において、身体的および精神的虐待を加えたと告発した。

He claimed that Jean had struck him in the chest while he was recovering from a bilateral mastectomy.

彼は、ジャンが両側乳房切除術からの回復期間中に胸部を殴打したと主張した。

In October of last year, McKinzie was arrested and charged with misdemeanor child abuse on the grounds of assaulting his eldest son.

マッキンジーは昨年10月、長男に対する暴行の廉で軽度の児童虐待の容疑により逮捕・起訴された。

According to a police statement, he has reportedly admitted to the fact that he slapped the child.

警察の発表によれば、彼は子供を平手打ちにした事実を認めているという。

In addition, prosecutors charged him with endangering his youngest child as well, in light of the fact that the officers who had arrived at the family home to question him came to discover that the two-year-old child had been left alone.

加えて検察は、家族宅へ彼の事情聴取のために臨場した警察官が、2歳の子供が独り取り残されているのを発見するに至ったことを受けて、末子を危険に晒した罪でも彼を起訴した。

McKinzie pleaded not guilty to the charges and asserted in the court record that he had been framed by his wife, who had left the house without telling him that the child was asleep in an upstairs crib.

マッキンジーは起訴に対し無罪を主張し、裁判記録において、二階のベビーベッドで子供が就寝中であることを告げぬまま家を後にした妻によって陥れられたと訴えた。

He was released from jail on the condition that he complete twelve parenting classes.

彼は12回の子育てクラスを修了することを条件に、刑務所から釈放された。

At the time of the killing, McKinzie was out on bail and was seeking to enroll in a mental health diversion program.

殺害当時、マッキンジーは保釈中であり、精神的健康転換プログラムへの参加を図っていた。

Furthermore, in October, Jean went so far as to obtain a domestic violence protective order against McKinzie.

さらにまた10月において、ジャンはマッキンジーに対する家庭内暴力保護命令を取得するに至ったのである。

In her petition, Jean alleged that in 2010, during an argument, McKenzie seized her forearm and struck it against the corner of a coffee table, thereby fracturing a vertebra in her upper back.

ジャンは申立てにおいて、2010年にマッキンジーが口論の最中に彼女の前腕を掴み、コーヒーテーブルの角に打ち付けた結果、上背部の椎骨を骨折させたと主張した。

She further stated that in 2023, after McKenzie forcefully pushed their eldest son's head, she summoned the police to the residence.

さらに彼女は、2023年にマッキンジーが長男の頭部を強く押した後、警察を自宅に招致したとも述べた。

In addition, Jean denounced McKenzie for having subjected his mother to psychological abuse.

加えてジャンは、マッキンジーが母親に対して精神的虐待を加えたと糾弾した。

In December, McKinzie independently filed for a domestic violence protective order against Jean, alleging years of abuse, including an incident in which she was struck on the head with a frying pan.

マッキンジーは12月、ジャンに対する家庭内暴力保護命令を独自に申し立て、彼女がフライパンで頭部を殴打されるなど、長年にわたる虐待を主張した。

He subsequently filed for divorce and sought to spend more time with his three children.

彼はその後離婚を申請し、3人の子供とより多くの時間を過ごすことを求めた。

According to Alameda County court records, he had been limited since last autumn to two hours of supervised visitation per week.

アラメダ郡の裁判記録によれば、彼は昨秋以降、週2時間の監督付き面会に制限されていた。

In late August, McKenzie was ultimately granted unsupervised visitation twice a week in public settings.

8月下旬、マッキンジーは公共の場における週2回の非監督付き面会を許可されるに至った。

The killing occurred precisely one week before the scheduled hearing in McKenzie and Jean's divorce proceedings, the two having been married in July 2011.

殺害が発生したのは、マッキンジーとジャンの離婚訴訟の審問が予定されるちょうど1週間前のことであり、両名は2011年7月に婚姻していた。

McKinzie joined The New York Times in January 2023.

マッキンジーは2023年1月にニューヨーク・タイムズに入社した。

According to the newspaper's reporting, he served as engineering director for New York Times Games and was based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

同紙の報道によれば、彼はニューヨーク・タイムズ・ゲームズのエンジニアリングディレクターを務めており、サンフランシスコ・ベイエリアを拠点としていた。

A spokesperson declined to comment further.

広報担当者はそれ以上の言及を差し控えた。
