The now-deceased lawyer suspected of fatally shooting the son and seriously wounding the husband of U.S. District Court Judge Esther Salas in New Jersey on Sunday may have been targeting at least one other judge in New York.

Roy Den Hollander had a photo of that states Chief Judge Janet DiFiore in his car, her spokesman told NJ Advance Media on Tuesday.

Thats what I understand to be true. At this point, thats all I have, said Lucian Chalfen, director of communications for New York State Courts. The information, which was relayed to Chalfen from the FBI, was first reported in the New York Times.

Den Hollander, a self-described anti-feminist lawyer, was found dead in his car of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in Rockland, New York, about a two-hour drive from the North Brunswick home of Salas, officials have said.

Investigators say Den Hollander, whose age in public documents is reported as 69 and 72, fatally shot the 20-year-old son of Salas, Daniel Anderl, and wounded her husband, criminal defense attorney Mark Anderl, 63, at their home about 5 p.m. on Sunday.

The son died of multiple gunshot wounds and Mark Anderl was critical but stable condition at a local hospital, according to North Brunswick Mayor Francis Womack.

The family was attacked by a man wearing a face covering and a FedEx delivery driver uniform, officials said. Salas was in the basement at the time of the shooting as was not hurt.

The New York Times, citing two law enforcement officials, reported the FBI is investigating whether Den Hollander was involved in the July 11 killing of mens rights lawyer Marc Angelucci in San Bernardino, California.

Angelucci was shot at his front door by a gunman wearing a FedEx uniform, according to published reports.

Based in Newark, Salas was the first Hispanic woman to be appointed to the U.S. District Court in New Jersey. She was nominated by President Obama as a U.S. District Court judge in December 2010 and confirmed by the Senate in June 2011.

Salas was the judge in a 2015 lawsuit Den Hollander filed in federal court claiming the Selective Service System, which requires men to register for military draft, discriminates against both sexes in violation of Equal Protection as incorporated into the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Den Hollander wrote in an online essay in 2019 about having cancer and about a planned hearing apparently before Salas.
