Nikita Casap, a 17-year-old from Wisconsin, faces serious charges. According to officials, he killed his parents to fund a plan to assassinate US President Donald Trump. Additionally, he aimed to spark a violent revolution.
Who Is Nikita Casap?
Casap lived in Waukesha County. In March 2025, police arrested him after discovering the bodies of his stepfather, Donald Mayer (51), and his mother, Tatiana Casap (35), inside their home.
As a result, authorities charged him with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide. Moreover, they filed charges for hiding a corpse, identity theft, and stealing property worth over $10,000.
Now, federal officials are also involved. They are considering additional charges, including conspiracy, attempted presidential assassination, and using weapons of mass destruction.
What Investigators Discovered
After his arrest, officers searched Casap’s home and devices. There, they uncovered violent and extremist content. According to FBI affidavits, Casap discussed a plan to assassinate Trump and overthrow the U.S. government.
“He wanted to save the white races from Jewish controlled politicians,” the affidavit stated.
Furthermore, investigators found ties to a neo-Nazi group called “The Order of Nine Angles.” Casap reportedly helped buy a drone and explosives. He allegedly planned to build a weapon of mass destruction.
In addition, one document included photos of Adolf Hitler and phrases like: “HAIL HITLER HAIL THE WHITE RACE HAIL VICTORY.” Another file said Casap murdered his parents to gain “financial means and autonomy” for his attack.
Possible Help From Others
Besides Casap, officials believe others may have known about the plan. Some may have even assisted him with preparations.
On April 9, Casap appeared in court for a preliminary hearing. The judge ordered him held on a $1 million bond. He is due back in court on May 7. So far, he has not entered a plea.
