Prominent Afghan Interpreter Fleeing Taliban Killed Driving for Lyft in D.C.

An Afghan interpreter who served for nearly a decade alongside U.S. Army Special Forces and recently escaped Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover was shot and killed while working as a Lyft driver in Washington, D.C.
The victim, Nasrat Ahmad Yar, was the sole provider for his wife and four children after relocating his family to the U.S. for safety and opportunity.
Ahmad Yar was committed to supporting vulnerable groups and dedicated to providing for his family.
Surveillance footage shows four suspects fleeing the scene of the shooting, but no arrests have been made despite a $25,000 reward for information leading to a conviction.
Fundraisers have been set up to support Ahmad Yar's family after the tragic loss of their loved one.
