CNN —A former Afghan interpreter who immigrated with his family to America in 2021 was shot and killed early Monday in Washington, DC, while on an extra shift as a Lyft driver, and police now are searching for suspects, authorities and a charity said. Four people ran away from the scene shortly after he was shot, video released by police shows. Police are offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest, the release said. Ahmad Yar brought his family to the US in 2021 after the Afghan government collapsed, the crowdfunding site says. “Our hearts are with Mr. Nasrat’s loved ones as they confront this unspeakable tragedy,” a Lyft spokesperson told CNN in a statement.
