In 2019, his husband Terry Solomon said they had been married for about two years.
"I got the kiss, and next thing I know, I'm getting calls my husband was shot," Solomon said. "I'm questioning myself, like, Lord, why couldn't it have been me? I will never fall in love that way again."
Solomon said McKay was generous and kept to himself.
McKay had worked as a librarian and was taking classes at Mildred Elley College in Lower Manhattan.
Police also arrested Ozjheir McClain, who police say fired the shot during an argument with Bautista.
