“The cause of death will be determined by the Virginia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner,” the bureau wrote.
“We are grateful to our partners in the Alexandria Police Department and Alexandria Fire Department for their immediate response and assistance,” the FBI added.
No further details about the man’s identity or the charges the man faced have been released. Authorities told WTOP News they continue to investigate the incident.
Neighbors told the outlet they were not acquainted with the man and were shocked to discover their apartment complex surrounded by law enforcement and the press Friday morning.
The man’s death came as overall crime in the D.C. region fell 13% in the first four months of 2025, according to Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments data. However, recent high profile incidents have raised concerns about crime in and around the nation’s capital
Former Department of Government Efficiency staffer Edward Coristine — also known as “Big Balls” — was seriously beaten during an attempted carjacking in the city Sunday, police said. This followed the June 30 fatal shooting of congressional intern Eric Tarpinian-Jachym when suspects allegedly emerged from a vehicle and opened fire on a street in the capital.
The Daily Caller reached out to the FBI Washington Field Office for comment.
