Hit list

[Ju]

As far as I know, hit list means a list of people who are going to be murdered or acted against

• His boss is going to terminate a number of staff in this department, unfortunately, Leo is among the hit list.

Is the above sentence OK?

Thanks

Almost. His boss is going to terminate a number of staff in this department; unfortunately, Leo is on the hit list.

You could also say Leo was 'in the firing line'.
