Jessica Aber, former U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia (EDVA), was found dead Saturday morning, the Alexandria Police Department said.

The cause and circumstances of Aber’s death are still under investigation and will be determined by The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of Virginia, according to APD.

After receiving a report of an unresponsive woman, police responded to the 900 block of Beverley Drive at around 9:18 a.m., where they found Aber deceased.

Aber began her service for EDVA as an assistant U.S. attorney in 2009.

Aber was nominated to be U.S. attorney by former President Joe Biden and unanimously confirmed by the Senate in 2021.

In a post on X, Attorney General of Virginia Jason Miyares said, “I am saddened to learn of the passing of Jessica Aber, whose career of public service included US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia and whose work with Ceasefire Virginia saved more lives than we may ever realize.”.

“Though we are devastated by this loss, each of us in the Eastern District of Virginia will look to her example and endeavor to live up to that standard.”. »
