Nikita Casap murdered her mother and stepfather to finance a plan to attack Trump.

A court in the state of Wisconsin sentenced Nikita Casap, 18, to two life sentences without the possibility of parole after it was found that she murdered her mother and stepfather in order to finance a plan to assassinate the President of the United States, Donald Trump.

The sentence was handed down by Judge Ralph Ramírez in the Waukesha County Circuit Court, after the young man pleaded guilty in January to two counts of intentional homicide in the first degree for the murders of Tatiana Casap and Donald Mayer, which occurred in February 2025.

He murdered his parents to use their money in an attack.

According to the judicial investigation, the young man shot at both of them inside their home and spent two weeks living with decomposing bodies before escaping in his stepfather's van

During the escape, Casap took $14,000 in cash, jewelry, passports and weapons belonging to Mayer, in addition to the family dog. The teenager was arrested on February 28, 2025 in Kansas, after a traffic stop that ended several days of flight

Federal authorities maintain that the double homicide was part of a larger plan. According to court documents, Casap intended to finance an attack against Trump using explosives launched

from a drone.

Investigators found online messages and communications on his phone discussing the purchase of an armed drone and explosives, as well as a manifesto calling for the assassination of the American president. District Attorney Lesli Boese explained to the court that the young man had developed the plan during 2024 and that he sought to carry out the attack using an AK-47 rifle attached to a drone or explosives thrown

from the air.

According to the accusation, Casap even transferred $8,700 in bitcoins from his stepfather's account to buy the necessary equipment, although he eventually turned out to be the victim of a scam and never received the drone or the explosives.

Nikita was sentenced to two life sentences.

During the hearing, the judge described the crimes as “horrible and inexplicable” and determined that the young man represents too great a danger to consider his possible release. The magistrate held that he could not foresee whether the defendant would change in the future and decided that he would not be eligible for parole at any time in

his life.

During his final speech before the court, Casap himself stated that at the time he believed he was participating in a supposed political war and that he thought he was part of a revolution. Despite these statements, the court concluded that the seriousness of the events — including the murder of his own parents to finance a political attack — justified the maximum penalty provided by Wisconsin law
