Apologies ahead of time if this has been answered, but I was unable to query an answer.

Scenario:
You have Leman Russ, Tech Priest, and Commissar near one another. Now, the Leman Russ is closest to an enemy unit. Next is the Com and finally the TPE
Who could the enemy not target?

I debated this subject with my fellow players. I argued the Leman Russ or the TPE could be targeted first then the Commissar. If the Com was the closest, then the LR or the Com.
Am I correct?

Thank you

Insufficient information to answer. How far from the Leman Russ are the Commissar and Tech Priest? Keep in mind Look Out Sir in the rulebook is incorrect, it has been errata'd. If the Priest and Commissar are within 3" of the Leman Russ, and not the closest enemy unit, they can't be targeted. If they are the closest, they can. As soon as the Leman Russ dies, both can be targeted if they aren't within 3" of any other units as they have less than 9 wounds and thus are ignored for the purposes of Look Out Sir. If the Tech Priest is 4" away from the Leman Russ, and 3" away from the Commissar, it can be targeted just fine, even if it's not the closest.

I think you answered it just fine. Sorry about the inches, should have included it.
I didn't know there is an errata. Are we talking about this one?

No, the errata to the Core Book. https://www.warhammer-community.com/faqs/?orderby=post_created&order=desc#warhammer-40000
