Washington DC, US: A US teenager was charged for allegedly killing his parents to “obtain the financial means” to assassinate President Donald Trump and overthrow the government, as per resent unsealed federal warrant. The Wisconsin teen was charged with first-degree murder, theft and other crimes.
Waukesha County authorities charged Nikita Casap, 17, was charged for the deaths of his mother, Tatiana Casap, and his stepfather, Donald Mayer. Authorities allege the teenager fatally shot them at their home outside Milwaukee in February and lived with the decomposing bodies for weeks before fleeing with $14,000 cash, passports and the family dog. He was arrested last month in Kansas, as per media report. County authorities also charged Casap with hiding a corpse, theft and misappropriating identification to obtain money.

Casap, is in custody at the Waukesha County jail on a $1 million bond. He is due in court next month to enter a plea.
Bodies of Tatiana Casap (35) and Mayer (51) were found on February 28. The search started after Mayer didn’t report for work and Nikita Casap skipped school for about two weeks. As per the report, authorities believe the parents were killed weeks earlier. Prosecutors said in court that the couple’s bodies were so badly decomposed that they had to be identified through dental records.
The Federal authorities accuse Casap of planning his parents’ murders, buying a drone and explosives, and sharing his plans with others, including a Russian speaker. His intentions are detailed in a three-page antisemitic manifesto praising Adolf Hitler. The warrant filed at the federal court in Milwaukee also contains excerpts of communications on TikTok and the Telegram messenger app.
“Casap appears to have written a manifest calling for the assassination of the President of the United States. He was in touch with other parties about his plan to kill the President and overthrow the government of the United States…The killing of his parents appeared to be an effort to obtain the financial means and autonomy necessary to carrying out his plan”, says the search warrant, as quoted by the report.

The court alleged Casap was in touch with a person who speaks Russian and shared a plan to flee to Ukraine. Authorities found him in Kansas with money, passports, a car and the family’s dog. Federal prosecutors alleged Casap’s manifesto outlined his reasons for wanting to kill Trump and included ideas about how he would live in Ukraine. Citing the teenager’s writing, the warrant said that he wanted to spur governmental collapse by “by getting rid of the president and perhaps the vice president”.
Last month, Casap’s public defender Nicole Ostrowski moved to dismiss some of the charges against her client, including theft, arguing that prosecutors had not laid out their case. She’s also noted the teenager’s age during court proceedings. “He is young, he is still in high school,” she said on March 12.
