A 17-year-old Wisconsin teenager is facing state and federal charges after allegedly murdering his parents as part of a broader plan to assassinate former President Donald Trump and spark a violent political revolution, according to newly unsealed court documents.

Nikita Casap, who was arrested in late February, is accused of shooting and killing his mother, Tatiana Casap, and stepfather, Donald Mayer, on February 11 in Waukesha County. Authorities say the murders were motivated by his desire to gain financial resources and personal freedom to carry out a terrorist plot. Their bodies were discovered two weeks later during a welfare check.

Casap now faces nine felony charges in Wisconsin, including two counts of first-degree intentional homicide and two counts of hiding a corpse. Federally, the FBI is pursuing charges of attempted presidential assassination, conspiracy, and use of weapons of mass destruction, according to a federal affidavit.

When he was apprehended during a traffic stop in Kansas, Casap was found driving Mayer’s stolen SUV with $14,000 in cash, $14,000 worth of stolen jewelry, and a .357 Magnum revolver.

Violent Ideology and Terror Plot

Federal agents uncovered a disturbing trove of evidence on Casap’s devices. This included:

• A three-page manifesto calling for the assassination of Trump to incite political chaos and “save the white race.”

• Affiliation with the Order of Nine Angles, a neo-Nazi extremist network known for its esoteric and violent ideology.

• Images of Adolf Hitler and propaganda promoting white supremacist revolution.

• Instructions for converting drones into attack drones using explosives.

• Communications with a person allegedly in Russia, discussing plans to overthrow the U.S. government.

• Telegram messages suggesting plans to flee to Ukraine following the attack.

One chilling message reportedly read:

“By getting rid of the president and perhaps the vice president, that is guaranteed to bring in some chaos.”

Investigators also found Casap had access to Mayer’s bank credentials and credit cards, which he allegedly used to help fund his plans.

Tip-Off and Escalation

A classmate of Casap’s told authorities in March that the teen had openly discussed killing his parents. Initially lacking access to a weapon, Casap reportedly said he planned to befriend someone with a gun and steal it. That same classmate later revealed that Casap had shared ambitions of working with foreign contacts and seeking refuge in Ukraine after carrying out his attack.

In one message recovered by authorities, Casap asked:

“So while in Ukraine, I’ll be able to live a normal life? Even when it’s found out I did it?”

Next Steps

Casap is scheduled for arraignment on May 7. If convicted on the state or federal charges, he could face life imprisonment. The case has raised alarms about online radicalization, youth extremism, and the persistent threat of domestic terrorism fueled by white supremacist ideologies.

Neither Casap’s attorneys nor federal authorities have offered further public comment at this time.
