The Metropolitan Police Department of Washington, D.C. is investigating the shooting death of Nasrat Ahmad Yar, a 31-year-old Afghan father of four who had been working as a Lyft driver in the city. Police released video footage of the incident showing four suspects fleeing the scene shortly after the shooting, and the motive behind the attack remains unclear. Yar had served as an interpreter for U.S. Special Forces in Afghanistan before fleeing to the U.S. in 2021 and is survived by his four children.

French Prosecutors Launch War Crime Investigation into Death of AFP Reporter Arman Soldin in Ukraine
French prosecutors have launched a war crime investigation into the death of Agence France-Presse (AFP) reporter Arman Soldin, who was killed in Ukraine on Tuesday. The investigation, handled by the OCLCH, will seek to determine the exact circumstances of Soldin's death, which brings to at least 11 the number of journalists killed in Ukraine since 2014. The death of Soldin has highlighted the risks that journalists face while reporting in conflict zones, prompting the AFP to call for an independent investigation and greater protection for journalists in conflict zones.
