Teen Charged with Parents' Murders Linked to Trump Assassination Plot

Nikita Casap, 17, faces multiple charges after allegedly murdering his parents as part of a neo-Nazi conspiracy to assassinate Donald Trump.

In a chilling case that has drawn national attention, 17-year-old Nikita Casap from Wisconsin has been charged with the murders of his mother, Tatiana Casap, 35, and stepfather, Donald Mayer, 51, in a plot purportedly aimed at assassinating former President Donald Trump. New details released by the FBI indicate that the teenager's motivations were intertwined with extremist ideologies, including connections to a neo-Nazi group known as the Order of Nine Angles and an alarming admiration for Adolf Hitler.

The bodies of Tatiana Casap and Donald Mayer were discovered at their home in Waukesha, near Milwaukee, on February 28, after officials were alerted due to the teen's unexplained absence from school for two weeks. According to a criminal complaint, Mayer suffered a gunshot wound to the head, while multiple gunshot wounds led to Casap's death.

Only hours after the gruesome discovery, police apprehended Casap during a traffic stop in Kansas, where he was found driving his stepfather's vehicle with a firearm registered to Mayer, several credit cards belonging to the couple, and a sudden collection of valuables which included $14,000 in cash stowed away inside a Bible, among other items.

Prosecutors allege that the adolescent's writings displayed white supremacist sentiments, with detailed plans for the assassination of Trump intended to spark what he viewed as a necessary political revolution. The investigation has revealed that Casap contemplated the murder of his parents as a means to gain financial independence and freedom for his radical agenda. Reports also suggest he was in contact with individuals in Russia about his plot.

Court documents indicate that the teenager had already funded a drone and explosives for his intended attack and expressed intentions to escape to Ukraine following the assassination. Despite the gravity of his actions, Casap has not entered a plea to the charges laid against him. He is currently held on a $1 million bond, with a preliminary court hearing previously held on April 9, and is scheduled for arraignment on May 7 in Waukesha County Court.
