Judge Esther Salas Assigned to Epstein Deutsche Bank Case 4 Days Before Husband, Son Shot

Newsweek
BY EWAN PALMER ON 7/20/20 AT 3:49 AM EDT

The son of a federal judge was killed and her husband injured when a gunman opened fire at their family home in New Jersey on Sunday night.

New Jersey U.S. District Court Judge Esther Salas' 20-year-old son Daniel Anderl was killed in the attack in North Brunswick, New Jersey, by a suspect dressed in a FedEx uniform. Salas was not injured in the shooting.

North Brunswick Mayor Francis Womack told ABC News that Anderl died after being "shot through the heart." Womack said Salas received threats "from time to time" in the past but she is not believed to have received any recently.

Police have yet to establish a motive for the shooting. The FBI said they are searching for one person in connection to the attack.

On July 15, four days before the shooting, Salas was assigned to the ongoing lawsuit brought by Deutsche Bank investors who claim the company made false and misleading statements about its anti-money laundering policies. The suit also alleged the bank failed to properly monitor "high-risk" customers, including convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Deutsch Bank is very close to both him and drumpf so either one has tons of motive.

Well if it looks like a mob hit, sounds like a mob hit, smells like a mob hit... police might want to investigate the possibility of a mob hit.

My heart goes out to Judge Salas and her family. This is just crazy wrong.
