The vehicle was removed from the scene on a flatbed truck, its rear windshield shattered.
Around 9 p.m. Sunday, Friedland and his wife had just finished holiday shopping and had returned to their car on the third floor parking deck at the mall, Acting Essex County Prosecutor Carolyn A. Murray said.

As they were getting into their Range Rover, two men armed with a gun confronted the couple, Murray said.

“The victim had opened the door for his wife, she had started to get in the vehicle,” Murray said. “As he got to the driver’s side and started to get ready to enter the vehicle, he was approached by two males and was shot before he entered his vehicle.”
