Far-right influencer Nick Fuentes said his home was among those targeted by a man suspected in a triple homicide who was fatally shot by suburban Chicago police late Wednesday night following a home invasion.
The situation started around 9:40 p.m. Wednesday in downstate Illinois, just outside of Champaign, where police said a triple homicide took place.
According to Illinois State Police, three people were killed in the 1100 block of Riverside Drive in Mahomet. All three were shot, with one pronounced dead at the scene and two others dying at area hospitals.
Roughly two hours later, authorities said Berwyn police responded to the 1800 block of Home Avenue for reports of a man armed with a gun. That man was the same person suspected in the Mahomet murders.
Upon arrival, police said the man fled on foot and successfully escaped the two responding police officers before forcing his way into a home on a nearby street, where he fatally shot two dogs.
Officials said the man then fled eastbound into a yard on Home Avenue, where officers initially responded. Police said the man then ignored officers’ commands to stop before firing several rounds towards responding officers.
According to authorities, the responding officers returned fire, fatally striking the suspect. No officers were injured in the shooting.
The Cook County Medical Examiner’s office identified the man shot by police as 24-year-old John Lyons of Westchester.
Fuentes, who lives in the area of the Berwyn incident, posted on X, formerly Twitter, Thursday afternoon, that Lyons came to his home and was captured on Ring doorbell footage that same night.
“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,” Fuentes wrote, adding that “the gunman broke into a neighbors home to evade police & killed two of their dogs.”
He later shared video showing a man wearing a helmet and carrying a gun and crossbow outside Fuentes’ home.
“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. He rings the door bell, tries the doorknob and yells ‘Yo Nick!'” Fuentes wrote, alongside the footage.
