The violent crime wave in cities under the control of Democrats has claimed yet another victim, this time a father of four who worked with US forces as an interpreter in Afghanistan who was cold-bloodedly gunned down on the mean streets of Washington, DC earlier this week.
Nasrat Ahmad Yar who survived life in a hostile land during wartime, had his life stolen away from him as he worked a few extra hours to make ends meet. Now his wife and children face an uncertain future as a result of the rampant criminality in the nation’s capital that, like so many other big cities, has become a dangerous hellhole where emboldened thugs prey on their innocent victims.
The 31-year-old who fled Afghanistan in 2021 as the country fell into chaos after the Biden regime cut and ran, surrendering the country to the terrorist Taliban, had been working 12-hour shifts as a driver for the ride-sharing service Lyft to provide for his wife and kids with the youngest being only fifteen months old.
Despite pleas from his wife to stay home on the night that he was murdered, Ahmad Yar instead chose to hit the streets in order to get money to meet the rent. He never came back.

Shortly after midnight on Monday, Ahmad Yar was found with a single gunshot wound next to his car on 11th Street Northeast by DC Metro police, he was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead, police told WUSA9. Ironically, he had relocated to Virginia from Philadelphia where he had first settled after fleeing Afghanistan because he didn’t feel safe there after he was robbed at gunpoint.
Security camera footage obtained by the outlet shows the moment of the crime as a gunshot rings out and a pack of four youths is seen running away with one heard saying “You killed him! He was about to get out.”
“He was reaching, bro,” responded another.
“He was so happy he got a new car because he could take care of his family,” Rahim Amini, who was Ahmad Yar’s best friend told WSUA9.“His wife asked him to stay home but he said, ‘I have to pay rent. I don’t have that much money. I have to work.’”
Ahmad Yar’s service in Afghanistan was remembered by retired Lt. Col. Matthew Butler who worked closely with the victims during their time in the wartorn country.
“He was most certainly a marked man if he stayed,” Butler told WUSA9. “He served this country a great deal more than I did. I did 42 months in combat but that was nowhere near what he had.”
“You just don’t have words to describe how you feel about someone who had given so much to his country, not as a citizen, but then comes here and experiences some of the worst behavior our country has to offer,” he added. “The irony is really thick here.”
A GoFundMe page has been set up to support the victim’s grieving family and as of Friday morning, had already exceeded the $75,000 goal.

“Nasrat’s commitment to his family and community was unwavering. He always extended a helping hand to friends and family and readily assisted anyone in need. He was immensely proud to be in the U.S., and grateful for the safety and opportunities that would be afforded to his four young children,” the page reads.
“We need justice for Nasrat,” said Ahmad Yar’s cousin Samim Amiri.“That’s all the family wants.”
