A 50-year old American award-winning filmmaker and journalist has been shot dead by Russian troops in Irpin, near the capital city of Kyiv. Brent Renaud was in his car with other journalists when Russian troops opened fire on them, killing him and injuring another journalist Juan Arredondo who is currently recovering in a local hospital.  The crew was on their way to film refugees in Irpin when the Russian troops shot at their vehicle.
PBS journalist Jane Ferguson tweeted about seeing Renaudâs body by the side of the road.
Just left roadside spot near Irpin where body of American journalist Brent Renaud lay under a blanket. Ukranian medics could do nothing to help him by that stage. Outraged Ukranian police officer: âTell America, tell the world, what they did to a journalist.â
