America First commentator Nick Fuentes has made a shocking claim about an alleged assassination attempt on his life at his home (now verified in newly released video). In a post shared on social media, Fuentes detailed a harrowing encounter with an armed assailant who, he says, was intent on killing him.
"Last night an armed killer made an attempt on my life at my home, which was recently doxed on this platform," Fuentes tweeted. He further described the would-be attacker as being armed with a pistol, a crossbow, and incendiary devices.
"I believe he intended to kill me," Fuentes stated.

The gunman carried a pistol, crossbow, and incendiary devices. I believe he intended to kill me.
He is now dead. I am okay!
Adding to the gravity of the situation, Fuentes shared further chilling details, stating, "According to police, the would-be assassin committed a triple homicide in southern Illinois early yesterday before he arrived at my doorstep with his pistol drawn, calling my name." Fuentes expressed gratitude, saying, "I am grateful to God that I am still alive today."
He also shared video of the intrusion where the man is seen calling out his name "Yo Nick!" while holding multiple weapons, including a handgun and a crossbow:
The killer parked his car in front of my house and approached my door with his pistol drawn and what appears to be a crossbow. I was livestreaming at the time.

A press release from the Berwyn Police Department provides additional context to the incident. According to the police, on December 18, 2024, at approximately 11:38 p.m., officers responded to a report of a man armed with a gun near the [redacted] block of Home Avenue. The individual fled from the officers, eventually forcing entry into a residence where he fatally shot two dogs. The suspect then fled eastbound into a yard, where he was fatally shot by responding officers after refusing commands to stop.
The press release confirms that the suspect was linked to a triple homicide committed earlier that day in Mahomet, Illinois. The incident is now under investigation by the Illinois State Police Public Integrity Task Force. Authorities have assured the public there is no ongoing threat to the community.
This alleged attempt on Fuentes’s life has sparked a flurry of reactions online, with supporters expressing relief at his safety and critics questioning the circumstances. Fuentes, a polarizing figure known for his controversial rhetoric, has not yet clarified further details about the incident or the extent of law enforcement's findings.
The majority of online responses were positive, as even Fuentes's critics agree that his rhetoric does not warrant a physical attack on his life. Popular podcaster & fitness coach, Myron Gaines, warned Nick that it was now time to leave the liberal hell hole of Chicago for a more Republican state like Florida:
We stand with you Nick.

Its time to come to miami brother. Warm weather, beaches, and the second amendment is fully supported here, unlike Illinois.
For those with information regarding the case, authorities encourage contact with the Berwyn Police hotline.
