A Wisconsin teenager, Nikita Casap, is facing serious charges after allegedly killing his parents as part of a plot to assassinate President Donald Trump. According to an FBI affidavit, the 17-year-old from Waukesha planned to destabilize the U.S. government and "save the white race" through his actions. Casap is charged with two counts of first-degree murder, hiding a corpse, and theft, among other charges.
Authorities found a three-page antisemitic manifesto and bombmaking instructions in Casap's possession, along with communications detailing his plans on platforms like TikTok and Telegram. The FBI also linked him to the extremist group "The Order of Nine Angles," known for its neo-Nazi and anti-Semitic ideologies. The teenager allegedly killed his parents, Tatiana Casap and Donald Mayer, to gain financial means and autonomy for his plot.
The bodies of Casap's parents were discovered in their home on February 28, after a welfare check was requested. Casap was arrested in Kansas, driving Mayer's SUV and carrying $14,000 in cash, jewelry, and a firearm. Investigators found evidence that Casap planned to use a drone and explosives in his attack, and he had intentions to flee to Ukraine afterward, as detailed by WISN.
Casap is currently held on a $1 million bond and is set to appear in court on May 7. Federal charges, including conspiracy and use of weapons of mass destruction, are also being pursued.
