( CNN ) -- It was an upscale , expensive vehicle -- a 2012 silver Range Rover -- sitting unoccupied in a parking deck at an upscale , expensive New Jersey mall crowded with Sunday holiday shoppers . Police say the luxury SUV 's owners -- a 30-year-old Hoboken attorney and his wife -- returned to it after shopping , walking straight into an apparent carjack attempt . A few seconds and a few bullets later , the young attorney lay shot in the head and dying in a shopping mall parking lot , his shocked and stunned wife likely in a panic nearby as two suspects sped from the scene in the Range Rover . On Monday , New Jersey 's legal community , friends and family were mourning the death of Dustin Friedland , who , police said , had performed one last act for his wife before the couple was accosted . He had opened the car door for her . And on Monday , police found that 2012 silver Range Rover parked in Newark , apparently with no obvious signs of what had happened to the two carjackers who became killers in a matter of seconds Sunday night in the parking deck of The Mall at Short Hills . According to authorities , Friedland apparently was walking behind the vehicle after opening his wife 's door and helping her get in , when he was confronted . There was a struggle , authorities believe , and shots were fired . Friedland 's wife heard the struggle and had gotten out of the SUV when the two attackers got in and drove off . She was not injured . Friedland was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital in Morristown . A manhunt for the suspects was launched , with authorities fanning out from the mall with its 150-store roster of retailers including Cartier , Prada , Gucci and Dior in addition to Bloomingdale 's and Neiman Marcus . The Essex County , New Jersey , Sheriff 's Crime Stoppers program announced a $ 10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspects . Police described the two still-at-large suspects as being armed and dangerous , but beyond that , few details of the investigation were released . Essex County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Thomas Fennelly would not confirm how many shots were fired during the seconds of the struggle behind the SUV , pending autopsy results . CNN 's Jean Casarez and Lorenzo Ferrigno contributed to this report .
