Roy Den Hollander was an American lawyer who was identifeid by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as an "anti-feminist" attorney with a long list of personal grievances and sexist and racist views, as the primary suspect in an ambush shooting at the New Jersey home of US District Court Judge Esther Salas in July 2020.

He specialized in men's rights activism and antifeminism. Hollander was also a private investigator in Russia.

Hollander graduated from the George Washington University Law School in 1985 and earned an MBA from Columbia University Business School in 1997.

Hollander had worked as a private investigator in Russia.

In 1993, he addressed the Kremlin.

In March 2000, Den Hollander married a woman he had met in Russia, but the two separated nine months later.

He would later accuse his former wife of having ties to Russian organized crime.

Den Hollander was also a men's rights activist and self-described antifeminist who had previously been known for filing unsuccessful lawsuits against "ladies night" promotions at bars and nightclubs, as well as suing Columbia University for offering women's studies classes.

His string of unsuccessful lawsuits earned him an appearance on The Colbert Report.

On August 20, 2008, Den Hollander was an on-air guest of Fox News' Neil Cavuto.

In 2015, he represented the plaintiffs of a gender-equity lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the military's male-only draft.

The lawsuit went before Judge Esther Salas, who sided against some of Den Hollander's arguments but allowed the case to proceed in court.

Den Hollander reportedly believed Salas was deliberately stalling the lawsuit for political reasons.

In September 2016, documents were uploaded to Den Hollander's website with contact info for Russian lawyers who should be contacted "if something happens to me".

In June 2019, Den Hollander handed the draft case to a team of fellow lawyers, citing a terminal illness diagnosis that he later wrote was melanoma.

In January 2020, he informed reporters that he was "painfully dying from metastasized cancer.

On July 19, 2020, Hollander targeted Salas' family at their home.

Daniel Anderl, aged 20, opened the door when Hollander knocked.

Hollander then opened fire, killing Daniel at the scene.

Mark Anderl was also shot multiple times and left in a critical but stable condition.

Salas was in the basement at the time of the attack and was not injured.

Hollander's deceased body was found in Rockland, New York. Authorities stated that Hollander's cause of death was from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. ^[3][4][6][7]
