For Immediate Release: May 18, 2022

The Alexandria Sheriff’s Office and the Alexandria Police Department are investigating the in-custody death of a federal inmate at the William G. Truesdale Adult Detention Center. Around 8:10 a.m. on Wednesday, May 18, deputies discovered an inmate suffering an apparent medical emergency alone in his cell in the booking area of the jail.

Deputies immediately requested 911 response, called for assistance from the jail’s medical staff and began administering emergency treatment. Medics from the Alexandria Fire Department responded and continued to provide medical treatment, but ultimately the patient died at 8:44 a.m.

The deceased is Anthony Moaf, a 25-year-old Fairfax County man who had been booked into the Adult Detention Center on the evening of Monday, May 16.

Because this is an in-custody death, the Alexandria Police Department is conducting the death investigation. The Sheriff’s Office will conduct a review of the incident to ensure all policies and procedures were followed.

The Alexandria Sheriff’s Office regularly houses federal inmates at the Adult Detention Center per an agreement with the U.S. Marshals Service.
