Chen's attorney claims she had no idea her husband was planning to kill McKinsey, but the Alameda County District Attorney's Office said it has obtained multiple videos showing Zhang shooting McKinsey point-blank in the back of the head. Zhang allegedly then stood over McKinsey's body, shooting at him for another 10 seconds. Chen allegedly then walked over, pulled out her own gun and also shot McKinsey multiple times. Chen's attorney claims she only shot McKinsey because she feared for her husband's life. The judge pushed the bail hearing to next month.
