The job of being a photojournalist has definitely become more dangerous in recent years.
Remember seeing all those reporters from Fox threatened during the riots?
Now, a journalist and a young girl have been allegedly murdered by a 19-year-old thug.
Horrifying
Dylon Lyons, 24, a journalist for Spectrum News 13, was covering a story when he suddenly became the story.
He and his partner Jesse Walden were both shot while covering a murder story.
Lyons passed away, but Walden is recovering from his wounds.
Two other women were also killed in the shooting: 38-year-old Nathacha Augustin and, tragically, 9-year-old T’yonna Major.
WOFL reporter Amanda McKenzie posted, “Please say a prayer for Jesse Walden this morning.
“I had the opportunity to work with Jesse last year and I am hoping that he pulls through and recovers.”
Journalist Ryan Elijah added, “Say a prayer for Jesse Walden this morning.
“The News 13 photojournalist was critically injured in the shooting that killed his colleague Dylan Lyons Wednesday.”
