Men's rights lawyer Roy Den Hollander, a suspect in the shooting of the son and husband of a U.S. District Judge, killed a lawyer in San Bernardino, authorities said Friday.
According to an Associated Press story on the U.S. News and World Report website, "Authorities believe a men's rights lawyer shot and killed a fellow attorney in California in the days before he attacked a federal judge’s family in New Jersey and committed suicide, officials announced Friday."
The story reported that investigators had evidence linking the shooting of U.S. District Judge Esther Salas's son and husband to lawyer Marc Angelucci who died July 11 in San Bernardino.
"Investigators said Wednesday that they had evidence linking the New Jersey shooting to the July 11 death of lawyer Marc Angelucci in San Bernardino County, California. Den Hollander and Angelucci, 52, were involved in separate federal lawsuits seeking to force the U.S. government to require all young women to join men in registering for a possible military draft," the story reported.
That came as the shooting of the son of a federal judge and her husband, and the murder of a prominent men's rights movement attorney in San Bernardino is being investigated as linked together.
U.S. Federal Judge Esther Salas' husband, Mark Anderl, a defense attorney, was seriously injured in the shooting. Their son Daniel was fatally shot. He was a student at Catholic University in Washington, D.C.
It was horrendous,” Harry Crouch told CBS Los Angeles about the death of his longtime friend Marc Angelucci. “None of us in the movement, none of his friends ever anticipated ever happening. When I got the call, we were devastated.”
Angelucci served as the organization’s vice president, for more than 20 years.
“He was loved by virtually everybody in the men’s right movement,” Crouch told CBSLA. “He was like our right leg.”
Crouch described the day of Angelucci's murder by saying, that “Apparently somebody came to the house, posed as a delivery person... And when he left, Marc was dead.”
According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the suspected gunman in Salas' son's murder, and the shooting of her husband was 72-year-old attorney Roy Den Hollander.
Hollander’s body was found in a car Monday in New York state. His cause of death was not immediately known.
Hollander was a self-described anti-feminist lawyer who had argued a case before Salas.
The shootings occurred in North Brunswick at the home of Salas, who has been connected high-profile cases involving Jeffrey Epstein and "Real Housewives of New Jersey'' stars Teresa and Joe Giudice.
