A 17-year-old Wisconsin teenager, Nikita Casap, is facing charges for allegedly killing his parents in order to acquire the funds needed to assassinate President Donald Trump and overthrow the government. The teenager is accused of fatally shooting his mother and stepfather at their home outside Milwaukee, living with their decomposing bodies for weeks, and then fleeing with $14,000 cash, passports, and the family dog. Casap was arrested in Kansas and is currently held on a $1 million bond in Waukesha County jail.

Federal authorities claim that Casap planned the murders, purchased a drone and explosives, and communicated his intentions with others, including a Russian speaker. His antisemitic manifesto, which praises Adolf Hitler, outlines his desire to assassinate the President and trigger governmental collapse. The FBI warrant reveals that Casap was in contact with individuals discussing his plan to flee to Ukraine, where he intended to live after carrying out the assassination.

Casap’s public defender, Nicole Ostrowski, has moved to dismiss some charges against him, citing his age and lack of evidence presented by prosecutors. The bodies of his mother, Tatiana Casap, and stepfather, Donald Mayer, were discovered weeks after their deaths, with their identities confirmed through dental records due to advanced decomposition. The case highlights the disturbing nature of the alleged crimes committed by the teenager and the ongoing legal proceedings to address the serious federal allegations against him.
