Alameda County Superior Court

The brazen attack comes nearly one year after McKenzie's wife, Candace Jang, filed a domestic violence prevention order against her spouse, a biological female who transitioned to become a man.

Court records show Jang accused him of physically, verbally and emotionally abusing her and their three young children, according to the protection order filed in Alameda County Court in October 2025 and obtained by the San Francisco Chronicle.

Jane claimed he hit their six-year-old son at least four to five times and once pushed him so hard that his head hit the hardwood floor and was left with a bump and abrasions, the court filing said.

She claims McKenzie pushed the boy after believing he was being too rough while playing with his sister, the document said.

There were witnesses who had watched in horror as Hunter shot Ivory on the sidewalk that night in 2002, after he had already beaten both Ivory and the woman she had stepped in to protect.

The East Bay Times reported that Alameda County Superior Court Judge Julie Conger handed down four life sentences totaling 110 years in prison before Demoris Hunter would even be eligible for parole.

Essentially, Hunter was never getting out of prison.

After sentencing, prosecutor John Bruehaus addressed the media, stating, "The facts of this case and the defendant's shocking criminal history demonstrate that he is a miserable human being who richly deserves the sentence of 110 years to life.
