Law enforcement is investigating if attorney Roy Den Hollander, who died in an apparent suicide, fired the shots that killed U.S. District Judge Esther Salas’ son.
A self-proclaimed “men’s right attorney” has been identified as the primary suspect in a shooting that killed U.S. District Judge Esther Salas’ son and seriously injured her husband Sunday night.
NJ.com reports. Roy Den Hollander is the suspect in the fatal shooting of a federal judge’s son in North Brunswick, according to multiple reports.
The suspect in the fatal shooting of the 20-year-old son of a New Jersey federal judge and the wounding of her husband at the family’s home on Sunday has been identified as a self-described “anti-feminist lawyer” who recently had a case before the judge.
In a statement, the FBI said Roy Den Hollander was “the primary suspect in the attack” that occurred at the North Brunswick home of U.S. District Judge Esther Salas.

NJ.com continues……Den Hollander is now deceased, the FBI said, adding “the investigation remains ongoing.”
He was found dead in Rockland, New York, with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to New York authorities.
Den Hollander, a lawyer based in New York, had a case pending before Salas regarding the U.S. Military’s male-only draft registration system, court records show. The lawsuit argues, in part, that requiring only men to register in the draft “discriminates against both sexes in violation of Equal Protection as incorporated into the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.”
The U.S. Attorney’s office in New Jersey has declined comment. New York State Police told NJ Advance Media they are investigating the death on Ragin Road in the town of Rockland in Sullivan County, New York. The body was found in a secluded, dead-end street that’s part of a campsite.
