Where to put focus after deleting an item in a list

This is an accessibility question:

Screen Reader users can interact with a list of items, something like that:

• item1 delete item1
• item2 delete item2
• ...... ......................

Where should the focus move once a user has deleted an item. The main problem is that focus cannot stay where it was (thus losing context) because the row will be deleted altogether

Please advise where you would put the focus? Also consider we can add other elements such as headers, or "Add" button to receive focus
