A 17-year-old from Wisconsin, Nikita Casap, facing charges for the murder of his parents, is also alleged to have devised a plot to assassinate President Donald Trump, as revealed in a newly unsealed FBI affidavit.
In the previous month, Casap, hailing from Waukesha, was charged with the deaths of his mother, 35-year-old Tatiana Casap, and his stepfather, 51-year-old Donald Mayer. He is said to have lived alongside their remains for a two-week period, and authorities suggest he was also planning to kill the president.
The FBI has accused Casap of conspiracy, attempting to assassinate the president, and trying to employ a weapon of mass destruction.
During the search for his belongings, officials discovered what they referred to as a “manifesto.” This document allegedly called for the assassination of the president to incite a race war and create turmoil.

Casap had also shared his intentions with others via TikTok and Telegram, identifying himself as a follower of the Order of the Nine Angles, which the FBI labels as a neo-Nazi cult that promotes the use of violence and terrorism to overthrow governments and dismantle modern civilization.
As per the FBI, Casap allegedly partially funded a “drone with a dropping mechanism,” intending to use it to drop “an explosive, Molotov cocktail, or extremely potent topical poison” onto a target.
“The murder of his parents seemed to be an attempt to gain the financial means and freedom needed to execute his plan,” the affidavit stated.

Casap was apprehended on February 28 for running a stop sign in his stepfather’s Volkswagen Atlas in WaKeeney, Kansas, located 800 miles from his home in Wisconsin. The vehicle contained his stepfather’s Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum, identification documents of the victims, and spent shell casings, as stated in a complaint.
Initially, the teenager faced charges of operating a motor vehicle without the owner’s consent and theft of movable property, which later escalated to two counts of first-degree homicide, two counts of concealing a corpse, theft of property exceeding $10,000, and two counts of misappropriating ID for financial gains, according to officials in Waukesha. The FBI revealed that Casap had confided his plans to kill his parents to a classmate.
In court on March 27, it was disclosed that his mother was discovered in a hallway wrapped in blankets and a towel, while his stepfather was found in a ground-floor office covered with a pile of clothing.
Casap’s legal representatives did not immediately reply to requests for comments.
