Ahmad Yar was 28 when he was fatally shot on March 19, 2019, while sitting in his vehicle outside an apartment complex in the 7000 block of Hemlock Avenue in Dallas, Texas. He had moved to the United States in 2014 under the Special Immigrant Visa program after serving as a combat linguist for U.S. and Afghan Special Forces. On the evening he died he had withdrawn cash from an ATM intending to send money to his ailing mother in Afghanistan. Passersby found him bleeding and he later died at a local hospital.

Police arrested 29-year-old Franklin Delain Fuller two days after the shooting on an unrelated charge; during questioning he admitted to the murder and was charged with capital murder. Authorities have not disclosed a motive or how Fuller and Yar may have known each other. Yar’s family arranged to return his body to Afghanistan and a GoFundMe was created to help cover funeral and transportation costs and assist his family.

The North Texas Afghan community held a vigil in Yar’s memory. Does anyone have information about Yar, his movements that night, or about the connection between him and Fuller?
