A Northern Virginia man finishing up a late-night shift of driving for the rideshare company Lyft, was shot in Washington, D.C., just after midnight Monday, and police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect seen on video fleeing the scene.
The Metropolitan Police Department said in a press release that just after midnight Monday, officers responded to the 400 block of 11th Street, Northeast, for reports of an unconscious person.
When officers arrived, they found an adult man, later identified as 31-year-old Nasrat Ahmad Yar, of Alexandria, Virginia, who was the victim of a shooting inside a vehicle.
Emergency personnel responded to the scene and transported Ahmad Yar to an area hospital, and after failed attempts to save his life, he was pronounced dead.
Four individuals were captured on an outdoor Nest camera, fleeing the scene.
The department is offering a reward of up to $25,000 to anyone who provides information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for Ahmad Yar’s murder.
