Brent Renaud, an award-winning journalist, was killed during an attack at a checkpoint in Irpin, according to The New York Times.
Renaud has also previously contributed to NBC News broadcasts, but was not on assignment for the company, NBC said Sunday.
Responding to news of Renaud’s death, the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists called for an immediate halt to violence against journalists and civilians. Along with his brother Craig, Renaud won a Peabody Award for “Last Chance High,” an HBO series about a school for at-risk youth on Chicago’s West Side. The brothers' litany of achievements include two duPont-Columbia journalism awards and acclaimed productions for HBO, NBC, Discovery, PBS, the New York Times, and VICE News.
