Former US attorney for Eastern District of Virginia found dead at 43 – WTOP News

Jessica Aber, a former U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia has died. She was 43.

Jessica Aber, a former U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, was found dead on Saturday. She was 43.

A statement from Alexandria Police said Aber was confirmed dead after officers responded to the 900 block of Beverly Drive in Alexandria, Virginia at approximately 9:18 a.m.

Officers were initially called to the scene in response to an unresponsive woman.

A cause of death has not yet been released by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of Virginia. An investigation is underway.

Local leaders are remembering her work as a public servant.

Erik Siebert, who serves as the current U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, remembered Aber as an “unmatched as a leader, mentor, and prosecutor.”

“She is simply irreplaceable as a human being. We remain in awe of how much she accomplished in her all too brief time in this world,” he said in a statement. “Jess was a proud Virginian from high school through college and throughout her career.”

Aber was nominated to serve as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia during former President Joe Biden’s term in office. She had been unanimously confirmed to serve in the posting.

During her time in that role, Aber led a staff of 300 prosecutors, civil litigators and support personnel across the state. Aber resigned from the position in January, when President Donald Trump came into office.

Oklahoma State defeats Virginia, wins 12th men's golf national title

CARLSBAD, Calif. — Eric Lee beat Josh Duangmanee, 2 up, to give Oklahoma State its 12th NCAA men’s golf title and first in eight years, with the Cowboys beating Virginia, 4-1, on Wednesday at La Costa.

Lee, a sophomore who played at California as a freshman, took the lead with a 25-foot birdie putt on the par-4 17th, then chipped to 5 feet on the par-5 18th and finished off Duangmanee with a conceded birdie after the Virginia player missed a 15-foot birdie try.

Lee scored for the winning point a day after making a 6-foot par putt on the 19th hole to lift fourth-seeded Oklahoma State past Mississippi in the semifinals. The Cowboys beat Bedlam rival Oklahoma in the quarterfinals.

“It’s such a great feeling,” Lee said. “I’ve gotten so close with these guys.”

On a cloudy afternoon with the temperature in the mid-60s, Swedish freshman Filip Fahlberg-Johnsson, Gaven Lane and Ethan Fang also won matches for Oklahoma State.

“Fortunately, we have all these guys back, and we’ll go to work on the next one starting tomorrow,” coach Alan Bratton said after his second title in 12 seasons.

Fahlberg-Johnsson won the opening match, beating Maxi Puregger, 3 and 1. Lane, in the fourth match, gave the Cowboys their second point with a 4-and-3 victory over Paul Chang. With the championship decided with Lee’s victory, Fang’s match against Bryan Lee ended after 15 holes with Fang, 1 up.

Ben James, the No. 4 player in the amateur world ranking, won the lone match for Virginia, topping Preston Stout, 3 and 2. The Cavaliers were trying to win their first team title.
