A father of four who had served as an interpreter alongside US special forces in Afghanistan and escaped after the Taliban takeover was gunned down while working as a Lyft driver in Washington, DC, early Monday.
Nasrat Ahmad Yar, 31, decided to work a few extra hours for the rideshare service, despite his wife’s protests that night, telling her they needed money for the rent, a friend told WUSA9.
He was shot and killed in his car a short time later after they spoke.
Shortly after midnight on Monday, DC Metro police found Ahmad Yar with a single gunshot wound close to his car on 11th Street Northeast. He was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police told the station.
The shooting was captured on security camera footage, obtained by WUSA9.
In the clip, a single gunshot can be heard and then four "young men" are seen running down an alleyway.
“You killed him! He was about to get out,” one of them says. Another responds, “He was reaching, bro.”
Yar and his family had first settled in Philadelphia, but, after being robbed at gunpoint, moved to Alexandria, Virginia, where he thought he and his family would be safer, less than a year ago, his friend Jeramie Malone said.

A real “interpreter” as opposed to the millions who came here claiming to be “interpreters”.
“young men” aka “youths” aka “teens” aka “Amish”.
“young men” aka “youths” aka “teens” aka “Amish”.
And then there are the Politicians.
I recall another interpreter being shot in New York or some other Dem control city.
And those sh*theads in DC have “common sense, gun control.” IT’S NOT THE GUNS, AZZHOS!
The front line criminals in Washington D.C. are the local politicians. They are inviting vigilanties to do what they are failing to do.
Annoyers
Interesting that 11th Street Northeast in D.C. apparently has better security cameras than the White House...
Follow up.... will Biden and his ilk exit Washington, DC like they did to Afghanistan?
Shot probably by design.
From Afghanistan war zone to the DC suburbs.
Definitely not an improvement.
We’re suppposed to be “proud” of “America”?
At least you could be armed and shoot back in Afghanistan.8
He was shot on the 11th Street Northeast.
The mass media is an accomplice in these cases—by refusing to identify the race of the perps they are hiding the problem and leaving potential victims unprepared.
How do you know that he was one of the real interpreters? Because some reporter said so?
Yes, and all of us should be allowed to carry armed in DC, this legal immigrant--Green Card or Citizen?--might still be alive if he could have been armed for self-defense.
