In Irpen, Russian troops killed a New York Times journalist, and another journalist was wounded, Chief of the police in Kyiv region Andriy Nebitov has said.
"The invaders cynically kill even international media journalists who are trying to show the truth about the atrocities of Russian troops in Ukraine. Today, a 51-year-old correspondent of the world-famous New York Times media was shot dead in Irpen. Another journalist was wounded. Currently, they are trying to take the victim out of the combat zone," Nebitov wrote on Facebook.
He also published an editorial journalistic ID and passport, according to which this is a video journalist, U.S. citizen Brent Renaud.

Brent and his brother made an HBO documentary about my high school 50 years after it was integrated. They basically hung out at our school and interviewed students for months. The final documentary made our school look bad, but it was accurate. They seemed like nice guys. It is sad to see his life end in another senseless war. RIP
