    The first Muslim female judge in US history was found dead on the banks of the Hudson River in New York under mysterious circumstances. The case comes days after another judge in Chicago was shot dead outside his own home.

    The body of former New York State Supreme Court Judge Sheila Abdus-Salaam, 65, was found floating in the Hudson River off Manhattan Island on Wednesday, the New York Post reported.

    The New York Police Department Harbor Unit responded after witnesses spotted Abdus-Salaam’s fully-clothed body floating in the Hudson River near 132nd Street and Hudson Parkway.

    Abdus-Salaam had been reported missing from her home in Harlem earlier in the day. Her husband later identified her body to police.

    Sources told the Post that Abdus-Salaam’s body showed no signs of trauma or injury that would suggest foul play. Police are currently investigating the cause of her death.

    In addition to being the first Muslim female judge to serve on the bench, Abdus-Salaam was also the first African-American to serve on the New York Court of Appeals, the highest court in the state.

    New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) appointed Abdus-Salaam to the position in 2013. On Wednesday, Cuomo remembered her as a “pioneer” and a “trailblazing jurist whose life in public service was in pursuit of a more fair and more just New York for all.

    Through her writings, her wisdom, and her unshakable moral compass, she was a force for good whose legacy will be felt for years to come,” Cuomo said in a press release. "I was proud to appoint her to the state’s highest court and am deeply saddened by her passing.

    On Monday, Cook County Judge Raymond Myles was fatally shot multiple times outside his home in Chicago. His 52-year-old girlfriend was also shot in the leg in what police believe was a “targeted robbery.

    Joshua Smith was arrested by Chicago Police on Wednesday in connection with the shooting and charged with first-degree murder.

    At a news conference on Wednesday, Chicago Police Chief of Detectives, Melissa Staples, said the Chicago Police Department's investigation into the shooting is "very open, active and ongoing."

    "The motive of this crime is robbery, which we do not believe is random – nor do we believe Smith acted alone," Staples said.

    Smith was identified after police reviewed surveillance footage, which picked up the license plate number of the vehicle he used to drive to [the] scene.

    The FBI has offered a $25,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of any additional suspects.

    Federal prosecutor found dead on Hollywood Beach

    Federal prosecutor found dead on beach in Hollywood

    A federal prosecutor who was found dead this week on a South Florida beach possibly suffered head trauma, authorities said.

    Hollywood police spokeswoman Miranda Grossman said the body of Beranton J. Whisenant Jr., 37, was found early Wednesday by a passerby on the city's beach.

    She said detectives are trying to determine if the death was a homicide, suicide or something else.

    Whisenant worked for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami in its major crimes unit. He joined the office in January. Court records show that he had been handling several visa and passport fraud cases.

    Acting U.S. Attorney Benjamin G. Greenberg said in a statement that Whisenant was a "great lawyer and wonderful colleague."

    "The U.S. Attorney's Office family was deeply saddened and shocked to learn of Beranton's death," Greenberg said. "He was a great lawyer and wonderful colleague, and we will miss him deeply. Our thoughts are with Beranton's family and friends."
