A judge handed down a life prison sentence Thursday for a Wisconsin teen who killed his parents, in an attempt to fund his planned assassination on President Donald Trump.
In January, Nikita Casap, 18, took a plea deal on two counts of first-degree intentional homicide, in connection with the death of his mother, Tatiana Casap, 35, and his stepfather, Donald Mayer, 51,
The victims were both fatally shot in 2025, n their Village of Waukesha home, according to NBC DFW.
Casap initially faced seven other charges, which included two counts of hiding a corpse and theft, that prosecutors dropped, as part of the plea deal.
As CrimeOnline previously reported, Donald and Tatiana were found dead on February 28 when family members requested a welfare check. They hadn’t heard from the family in about two weeks.
Court documents showed that deaths occurred on or about February 11 at their home on Cider Hills Drive. Casap hid them and continued to live in the home until the decaying bodies were eventually found.
Authorities apprehended Casap in Kansas on February 28 after tracking the GPS on Donald Mayer’s vehicle. He was initially charged with operating a motor vehicle without the owner’s consent and theft of movable property.
NBC DFW reported that at the time of Casap’s arrest, the complaint showed he had $14,000 cash, jewelry, passports, his stepfather’s gun and the family dog.
The complaint also stated that Casap purchased a drone and explosives to carry out his plans.
Investigators learned that Casap planned to carry out a plot to “overthrow the government of the United States and assassinate President Trump,” as outlined in a manifesto entitled, “Accelerate the Collapse.”
The manifesto outlined “a political revolution in the United States” to “save the white race” from “Jewish controlled” politicians.
Casap reportedly spoke with a Russian national on the app Telegram to further the plot.
During Casap’s sentencing, Judge Ralph Ramirez stated, “I choose to find he’s not eligible for extended release because I do not know … when and if and whether a profound and significant change can occur.”
