Nasrat Ahmad Yar via GoFundMe
“Dear PoPville,
I’ve been following this senseless and heartbreaking tragedy closely since the murder of Lyft driver and former Afghanistan interpreter for the US military (Nasrat Ahmad Yar) back in July 2023. It looks like an arrest has been made of a 15-year old juvenile for his murder. Nasrat left behind a wife and four young children whom had just been relocated to the US. Their GoFundMe is still up. Can you please share with our caring community?”
