Nick Fuentes or Nicholas Joseph Fuentes is a far-right political commentator who has been embroiled in controversies regarding his radical views on Jews, women, and white supremacy.
In what comes as news from last night, Nick Fuentes has shared a thread of posts on his X account claiming that a triple-murder suspect tried to kill him in his home. In the footage caught by his Ring camera, a man can be seen wearing a helmet, ringing the doorbell, and then yelling 'Yo Nick.' Nick Fuentes posted:
"Last night an armed killer made an attempt on my life at my home, which was recently doxed on this platform. The gunman carried a pistol, crossbow, and incendiary devices. I believe he intended to kill me. He is now dead. I am okay!"
On the same post, he made a thread of comments detailing the incident. Fuentes stated that according to the police, the would-be assassin committed a triple homicide in southern Illinois before arriving at his home with a pistol, calling his name.
He also said that the attacker allegedly broke into a neighbor's home to evade police, tragically killing two of their dogs. Fuentes condemned doxing and 'nihilistic lynch mob behavior,' warning that such actions have life-threatening consequences.
Nick Fuentes also mentioned needing to relocate for safety and not wanting his neighbors, especially those with young families, to face associated risks. He announced plans to hire 24-hour security to protect himself and his property, estimating the cost at $13,000 per week. He then posted a comment urging people who'd like to help him to donate:
"If anybody would like to contribute to defray the cost ($13,000/week) of private security and rebuilding my studio, here is a donation link. I can only accept cryptocurrency because I am banned from banking services and CC processing. Thank you. https://nicholasjfuentes.com/donate"
