Lawyer found dead in upstate NY may be linked to New Jersey shooting at judge's house

Investigators examining possible connection between NYC attorney and the NJ shooting at home of Judge Esther Salas

The main suspect involved in the fatal shooting of a federal court judge’s son in New Jersey was found dead in New York’s Sullivan County on Monday afternoon, the FBI announced Monday evening.

Roy Den Hollander, a self-described “anti-feminist” lawyer known for lawsuits challenging perceived infringements of “men’s rights,” has been identified as the main suspect in the shooting at U.S. District Court Judge Esther Salas’ home in North Brunswick, according to officials and reports. The man had appeared before the judge in the past, the officials said.

He was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, law enforcement officials said.

The lawyer had a gender-equity lawsuit, filed in 2015, that was being heard by Salas involving a young woman who wanted to register for the military draft. He also mentioned the judge in writings posted online, deriding her as a mere ladder-climber who traded on her Hispanic heritage to get ahead.
