OP's linked article does not mention THIS, from a few days ago:
A retired Orange County judge and former prosecutor, Stewart Rosenwasser, is facing bribery allegations tied to a Rockland County family involved in a cold case murder.
Court documents reveal that Rosenwasser was hired by Moutz “Marty” Soudani to investigate his relatives, Eman and Martin Soudani, over accusations of stealing $1.6 million in cryptocurrency.
Martin Soudani pleaded guilty in 2023, returning $500,000 to his uncle, and was sentenced to prison. However, the Soudanis now claim Rosenwasser accepted $48,100 in bribes from Marty, resulting in false arrests, ignored evidence, and wrongful prosecution.
Texts allegedly show Rosenwasser offering to “protect” Marty, and a prior financial relationship between the two is noted. Rosenwasser, who retired in June, is also under federal investigation for tax evasion.

You should make this a post.
The dude you see at the top of this post is Stewart Rosenwasser for those that don't know...
So he was protecting relative. Also it seems like it was a shoot out not a suicide
