Jessica Aber, former US attorney under Biden, found dead in Virginia home
Former President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia was found dead inside a home in Alexandria, Virginia, authorities announced Saturday, March 22. Jessica Aber, 43, was pronounced dead at the scene when police responded at 9:18 a.m. EST.
CBS News reports that it is unclear if the home belongs to Aber, or who had contacted the police. The Alexandria Police Department said in a statement posted to X that “an investigation is underway surrounding the circumstances of her death,” adding, “The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of Virginia will determine the cause and manner of death.”
Aber became U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia in 2021, following her nomination by President Biden and unanimous confirmation by the Senate. She resigned in January, at the start of President Donald Trump’s second term in office.
Attorney general for the Trump administration, Pam Bondi, said in a statement released Saturday, “The loss of Jessica Aber, former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, is deeply tragic. Our hearts and prayers go out to her family and friends during this profoundly difficult time.”
Similarly, in another statement released Saturday, Erik Siebert, who replaced Aber, called her an “unmatched leader, mentor, and prosecutor,” saying she is “simply irreplaceable as a human being.”
Aber’s tenure with the Eastern District of Virginia began in 2009 and included stints as the assistant U.S. attorney and deputy chief of the department’s criminal division. She grew up in Virginia, received an undergraduate degree from the University of Richmond, and a law degree from William & Mary Law School.
In 2022, Aber helped launch Ceasefire Virginia, targeting violent crime across the state. That initiative and Aber’s work on it, Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares said, “saved more lives than we may ever realize.”

A manhunt is underway in Virginia for a suspect accused of killing a sheriff’s deputy while he was conducting a welfare check, law enforcement officials said.
Deputy Logan Utt was fatally shot after police received a request from a family member to do a welfare check at the location, the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office said.
A man at the home opened fire on the two deputies who responded to the location, according to the sheriff’s office. The deputies returned fire, the sheriff’s office said, and both were hit by gunfire. Utt was pronounced dead, while the second deputy was struck in his ballistic vest. That deputy is currently receiving medical evaluation and is reported to be in stable condition, officials said.
“Deputy Utt was a devoted husband, loving father, cherished family member, friend, and respected member of our law enforcement family. His service, courage, and dedication will not be forgotten,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
Utt joined the sheriff’s office in 2023, after serving in the military.
A search is underway for the suspect. He should be considered armed and extremely dangerous, law enforcement officials said.
“My office is closely monitoring this tragic incident,” Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger wrote on social media. “I encourage anyone with information on the suspect’s whereabouts to contact Virginia State Police. My thoughts are with the deputy’s family and the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office as we work through this awful situation.”
“I didn’t know I could go that fast,” Richard Delcid, the general manager of a Domino’s Pizza in Manassas, told WTOP.

‘I didn’t know I could go that fast’: Virginia pizza maker breaks record
A general manager of a Domino’s Pizza in Manassas, Virginia, won the chain’s “World’s Fastest Pizza Maker” competition this month.
Richard Delcid prepared a pepperoni pizza, mushroom pizza and cheese pizza for the oven in 31.22 seconds.
“I didn’t know I could go that fast,” Delcid told WTOP.
“Eight seconds better than the previous record,” Robert Donner, one of the owners of the Domino’s on Centreville Road, said.
The competitors at the May 13 Las Vegas event came from Domino’s locations around the world, and Donner said the competition is about more than speed.
“They’re judged by weight, they’re judged by portion, and they’re judged on whether they’re sellable to a customer,” Donner said.
When Delcid first started working for Domino’s in 2012, he was a teenager. He was much slower then, he joked.
As with anything, practice makes perfect.
“We record ourselves during practices,” Delcid said. “We dissect videos, we look at body movement, hand movement, everything.”
Delcid was not alone in Vegas. Donner, who is part owner of more than 30 Domino’s Pizza locations in Virginia and Maryland, brought dozens of employees to the event.
Coming in second at the competition was another member of Donner’s team.
Joe Burr, who is known as “Domino Joe,” is the local director of training, and calls himself the Dan Marino of the Domino’s World’s Fastest Pizza Maker competition.
“I’ve won third place a couple times, I’ve won second place like three or four times,” Burr said. “So I’m like always a bridesmaid, but never a bride.”
Don’t let Burr’s jokes fool you — he has known Delcid for a long time and is very proud of him.
“I like to say it’s not the sculptor, it’s the clay. Richard is the best clay,” Burr said.
Along with a championship belt and a trophy, Delcid’s record‑breaking performance earned him $5,000 from Domino’s Pizza corporate, and his local bosses kicked in another $5,000.
