America's first black female Muslim Judge tossed in Hudson River

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

The body of the United States’ first ever female Muslim judge was found Wednesday afternoon in the Hudson River near Manhattan, according to a Wednesday New York Post report.

Witnesses spotted Sheila Abdus-Salaam's body in the river near 132nd Street and Hudson Parkway, police sources tell the Post.

Abdus-Salaam served as an associate judge of the Court of Appeals and was also the first U.S. African-American to serve there.

She had been reported missing earlier in the day, the newspaper reports.



Her husband later confirmed her identity.

Sources tell the Post that there were no visible signs of trauma or physical injuries suggesting foul play.

Police are still investigating.

Abdus-Salaam worked as an attorney at East Brooklyn Legal Services after graduating from Columbia Law School.

Abdus-Salaam continued to rise in the ranks until she was elected to the New York Supreme Court in 1993, and then appointed to the Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) 20 years later in 2013.

Jonathan Lippman, who once served as the chief judge of the state Court of Appeals from 2009 to 2015, said Abdus-Salaam’s death is a “terrible blow.”

“I’m deeply saddened at having lost a dear friend and colleague, and the court has suffered a terrible blow,” Lippman told the Post.

“She was a superb jurist and an even more superb human being,” he continued. “I knew her for many, many years. To some degree, we grew up together in the court. I’ve known her in all her different roles in the court. It’s just so shocking. She was a very gentile, lovely lady and judge. If you ask anyone about her, people would say only the most wonderful things. That’s why it makes it even more difficult to understand.”

3:169 And do not think that those who are killed in the cause of God are dead. No, they are alive at their Lord receiving a bounty.
3:170 Happy with what God has granted them from His grace, and they rejoice in those who have yet to follow after them. There is no fear upon them nor do they grieve.
3:171 They rejoice with the bounty of God and grace; God will not waste the recompense of the believers.
