Self-proclaimed anti-feminist Manhattan lawyer Roy Den Hollander suspected in two killings

Roy Den Hollander, an anti-feminist and lawyer who opened fire at the son and husband of New Jersey federal judge Esther Salas at their doorstep, had a list of over a dozen targets for a killing spree. The list included at least three other judges.

But, 72-year-old Hollander killed himself the day after he allegedly posed as a FedEx driver for the July 19, 2020, ambush on Judge Salas' North Brunswick home, during which he fatally shot her 20-year-old son and wounded her 63-year-old husband Mark. The family was celebrating Daniel Anderl's 20th birthday at the time.

Authorities believe that the ambush on Salas' family was the result of a civil case she ruled over in 2015, which Hollander had represented. He allegedly targeted Salas for making slow progress with the lawsuit, that alleged that the exclusion of women from the military draft was unjust to men. In spring 2019, Salas sided with the lawsuit.

Furthermore, authorities in California later confirmed that earlier he may have traveled to San Bernardino and killed rival men's rights attorney Marc Angelucci on July 11. They believed that even there, Hollander posed as a deliveryman and fatally shot Angelucci on his doorstep.

According to CNN, a news release from the time said:

"On July 11, 2020, Roy Den Hollander drove his rental car to Marc Angelucci's residence where he shot and killed him. Hollander immediately fled the area in his rental car. After the murder, Den Hollander boarded a train at Union Station in Los Angeles and left California."
