The Range Rover carjacked in the fatal shooting at The Mall at Short Hills on Dec. 15 is towed after being recovered in Newark. Four people have been taken into custody in the killing.
Authorities have four men in custody in the killing of 30-year-old Dustin Friedland as he and his wife boarded their luxury SUV in the Short Hills mall parking lot on Dec. 15, a spokeswoman from the Essex County prosecutor's office said.
Friedland, a beloved lawyer from Hoboken, had just finished loading holiday gifts into his silver 2012 Range Rover on Sunday Dec. 15 outside of the mall when two men ambushed him and attempted to steal the SUV. Friedman resisted in an apparent attempt to protect his wife. During the scuffle, one of the men shot Friedman four times, before forcing his wife out of the vehicle.
Friedman was rushed to a hospital, where he died. The SUV was found behind an abandoned house in Newark the next day.
Six days after the attack, a spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office said they had four suspects in custody.
The funeral service for Friedland was held Wednesday at Beth Am Shalom in Lakewood, N.J.
When he was killed Sunday, Friedland and his wife, Jamie, were talking about starting their own family.

Now Friedland's wife is a 27-year-old widow with a broken heart.
Investigators from the Essex County Prosecutor's Office believe Friedland was targeted Sunday for his silver 2012 Range Rover, which is worth about $70,000.
It was found Monday parked behind an abandoned house in Newark and remains in police custody.
Among the theories police are pursuing is that the pair belong to a Newark-based carjacking ring that has started targeting the suburbs, sources said.
A little over two hours before Friedland was murdered, a motorist in nearby South Orange had his 2014 Land Rover carjacked by a trio of bandits in a Jeep Cherokee.
In this case, the motorist was not harmed.

Police did not reveal what make of Land Rover was taken. Nor would they say whether it was connected to the fatal Friedland carjacking.
"Everything's possible at this time," Capt. Kyle Kroll of the South Orange Police Department said. "The prosecutors are aware of our carjacking."
The two suspects are "armed and dangerous," police said. But they have released little else in the way of description about them.
The deadly duo was driving a green Subaru before attacking Friedland in the parking lot of The Mall at Short Hills in Millburn.
Friedland, who lived in Hoboken, had just let his spouse into the luxury SUV and placed the presents they purchased inside when he was ambushed while walking around to the driver's side, sources said.
Fearing for his wife, Friedland apparently resisted, and during the struggle he was hit in the head by one of the four shots fired, sources said.

"Get out of the car," one of the attackers then told Jamie Schare Friedland, who was not harmed. She was by her husband's side later when he died at a hospital.
Down in Toms River, N.J., grieving relatives and friends streamed into the home of Friedland's parents, who were on vacation when they were told of their son's murder.
In the driveway were two luxury Land Rovers — one black, the other silver.
Jamie Schare Friedland is also a lawyer and works for the Adam Leitman Bailey law firm in Manhattan. The company has put up a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrests of the culprits.
