Far-right figure Nick Fuentes recently had a terrifying encounter with an armed man outside his home in Illinois. Fuentes claims that the man, identified as John Lyons, came to his doorstep with a pistol, crossbow, and incendiary devices, shouting his name in an attempt to kill him. The incident was captured on Fuentes’ doorbell camera, where the man can be seen brandishing his weapons.
According to Fuentes, Lyons had committed a triple homicide in southern Illinois before making his way to Fuentes’ home. The attacker traveled 2.5 hours to reach Fuentes’ address, which had been leaked online. Police responded to the scene after receiving reports of a gunman in the neighborhood. Lyons fled to a nearby house, where he killed two dogs before engaging in a shootout with the police.
Officers exchanged fire with Lyons, ultimately killing him in the confrontation. Fuentes shared footage from his surveillance camera, showing the armed individual on his porch. The incident occurred just a day before Fuentes was scheduled to appear in court for a separate case involving an alleged assault on another individual who confronted him about a social media post.
Neighbors of Fuentes recounted the chaotic events that unfolded that night, with one resident describing the scene as reminiscent of a movie. They expressed disbelief that the triple murder suspect had ended up on their block, speculating on the connection between the leaked address and the attacker’s presence. Fuentes himself confirmed that Lyons had targeted him specifically, adding to the chilling nature of the encounter.
Despite the harrowing experience, Fuentes emerged unscathed from the incident. The community is now left grappling with the aftermath of the violent episode that unfolded on their doorstep. The investigation into Lyons’ motives and actions continues, shedding light on the dangers that individuals like Fuentes face in today’s increasingly polarized and volatile social climate.
