I think Jacques, Whitley, Winter and Ironwood are the obvious choiches. Jacques has bound to make enemies, so it could get him killed. Whitley can bite off more then he could chew of something and pay for it as well a result.

I think Winter also has a chanche of dying. Its Weiss' older sister and arguably her big example. So her dying would both be a shock to the audience and Weiss herself, and maybe also cause some development on Weiss' side. As a positive family figure, you pretty much have a permanent target on your back. Just ask every Disney parent ever.

Ironwood is probably the most likely after Jacques. His death would be a blow to Atlas, he's an enemy of Salem and he's paranoid at this point about keeping Atlas safe. I can imagine either WTCH has a role in his demise through a direct assasination, or he realizes the error of his ways and loses his life by fighting alongside RWBY and Co. or something like that.

As mentors, Qrow and Maria have a permanent target on their back and I do think one of them will end up dying at one point. But I think volume 7 is probably to early for them to die, especially Maria. I also imagine that Raven might end up dead (infact, I think its pretty likely), but I don't see it happening in volume 7.

Aside from those guys, while I wouldn't bet any money on it, I wouldn't be surprised if any of the remaining members of JNPR would kick the bucket.

As for the actual villains of the show...I fully exspect that Neo and Cinder will try to stab each other in the back at some point. They're just using each other, after all. I think that will either happen in volume 7 or 8. Don't know if one of them will end up dead though and if it happens, I highly doubt it will be Cinder. As much as I want her dead, that bitch is like weed. You just can't get rid of her, and I exspect she'll probably survive till the end of the series.
