The son died and the husband was wounded. The American judge was suspected of being "warned for the death of the door"?
[Global Times Special Correspondent Liu Haoran] Underworld forces’ "warning to destroy the door"? In the past weekend, a vicious homicide occurred in New Jersey, the United States: North Brunswick District Judge Esther Salas encountered a gunman at his door. Not only did he lose his beloved son, but also his husband was seriously injured. . Up to now, the murderer is still at large, and his motives have also caused widespread speculation. It is understood that during his tenure as a judge, Salas handled many difficult cases and personally sent "gangsters" and celebrities in the film and television circles to prison. And a major case she recently accepted is even more related to the American pedophile billionaire Epstein.
The US "New York Daily News" reported on the 20th that at about 5 pm local time on the 19th, a gunman dressed in a FedEx uniform knocked on Salas' door, and Salas' 63-year-old husband Mark opened the door. The murderer fired several shots. Hearing the gunshot, her 20-year-old son Daniel hurried to the door to try to protect his father, but was shot and killed. When the murder happened, Salas himself was in the basement of the mansion and escaped by luck.
After the shooting, the assailant quickly fled the scene and had not been brought back to justice as of press time; Mark was shot in many places and received emergency rescue after being sent to the hospital. Although he is currently in serious condition, his life is unhindered. The young Daniel was shot to the point and died unfortunately. According to Womack, the mayor of North Brunswick, Daniel was "passed through" by a bullet. After the incident, the local police and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) quickly launched an investigation. Because they knew little about the gunmen, the police officers had to knock on the doors of nearby neighbors one by one, trying to find evidence such as surveillance video. New Jersey Governor Murphy condemned the case as a senseless act of violence and expressed condolences to Salas and his family; the US Marshals Department has also strengthened the protection of judges.
According to local New York media, this tragic experience is the second major ordeal in Salas' life. Salas’ parents are both Latin American immigrants. She lost her home in a fire when she was 10 years old. With her personal efforts, she successfully graduated from law school and was nominated as a magistrate of New Jersey during the Obama administration. It is worth mentioning that she is the first female Hispanic judge in the area, and her husband is also a well-known criminal defense lawyer in the industry. Daniel is the only child of the two and may apply to law school in the future.
Due to the special nature of his profession, Salas has received death threats many times during his career, but according to reports, Salas has not received any threats recently, and due to the limited investigation of this murder case, the police cannot determine whether the motive for the crime was involved in the crime. The hatred of evil forces against her. In 2017, she sentenced a "brother underworld" in New York State to 45 years in prison, and sent Judith and his wife from the American reality show "Housewives of New Jersey" to prison on charges of financial fraud. However, what the media is most concerned about this time is that just a few days ago, Salas accepted a lawsuit related to the Epstein case: the plaintiff in this case was an investor of Deutsche Bank, and they sued the bank for The anti-money laundering policy contained false descriptions and neglected scrutiny of many "high-risk customers"-including Epstein.
