18-Year-Old Pleads Guilty to Murdering His Mom and Stepdad to Fund His Trump Assassination Plot
A disturbing case out of Waukesha, Wisconsin, involves a teenager who admitted to murdering his parents as part of a broader plan aimed at President Donald Trump.
According to local Fox affiliate WITI-TV, 18-year-old Nikita Casap pleaded guilty to killing his mother and stepfather inside their home. Investigators say the motive behind the killings extended beyond the family dispute and was connected to a planned act of political violence.
The Associated Press reported that Casap murdered his parents in order to steal their money and gain independence to help fund a plot to assassinate President Donald Trump. A federal search warrant stated that “the killing of his parents appeared to be an effort to obtain the financial means and autonomy necessary to carry out his plan.” Authorities believe the murders occurred around February 11.
Court documents indicate that Casap remained in the home for several weeks after the killings before leaving the state. When he departed, he allegedly took his stepfather’s SUV, approximately $14,000 in cash, jewelry, passports, a firearm, and the family dog. He was stopped and arrested during a traffic stop in Kansas on February 28.

During the investigation, law enforcement examined Casap’s cellphone and other electronic devices. According to search warrants, investigators found material connected to a group known as the Order of Nine Angles. FBI documents describe the group as a violent extremist organization that promotes anti-Judaic, anti-Christian, and anti-Western beliefs and encourages acts of chaos and violence. Authorities say this discovery added an ideological element to the case.
Investigators also allege that Casap had begun taking concrete steps toward a mass-casualty attack. Search warrant records state that he partially funded the purchase of a drone and explosives, which authorities believe were intended to be used together as a weapon.
The investigation also uncovered an alleged manifesto referencing President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance. In the document, Casap reportedly wrote that eliminating the president, and possibly the vice president, would create widespread chaos. One passage stated that the manifesto was written “specifically for the attack that targets Trump,” reinforcing investigators’ conclusion that the murders were part of a larger, premeditated plan aimed at political violence against the president and his administration.
Casap is scheduled to be sentenced on March 5. Each homicide conviction carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison.
