Police arrested a 15-year-old boy accused of killing a former Afghan interpreter for U.S. special forces who was working in Washington, D.C. as a ride-share driver.
After leaving Afghanistan, 31-year-old Nasrat Ahmadyar, a husband and father of four, settled in Northern Virginia, NBC Washington reported.
“Here was a man starting out in the United States,” D.C. Police Chief Pamela Smith said. “He served the country.”
He was shot just after midnight July 3 while driving to make up for being behind on rent, friends said. Officers found him inside a car.
Police believe he was killed during an attempted carjacking.
Detectives continue to look for more suspects, police said.
