Inside Nikita Casap’s Disturbing Crime
Nikita Casap was handed a life sentence without the possibility of parole.
Casap pleaded guilty in January to two counts of first-degree intentional homicide in Waukesha County Circuit Court in connection with the shooting deaths of his mother, Tatiana Casap, and stepfather, Donald Mayer, in 2025.
As part of the plea deal, Prosecutors dropped seven other charges, including two counts of hiding a corpse and theft.
Casap shot his parents early last February. The 18-year-old then lived with their decomposing bodies for two weeks before fleeing across the country in his stepfather’s SUV, along with $14,000 in cash, his stepfather’s gun, and the family dog.
He was eventually arrested during a traffic stop in Kansas on February 28. Casap reportedly had plans to use an “attack drone” that would drop a makeshift “bomb” packed with nuts, bolts, and needles on the president.
A federal warrant for his arrest concluded: “The killing of his parents appeared to be an effort to obtain the financial means and autonomy necessary to carry out his plan.”

Making Sense of Nikita Casap’s Horrific Decision
He killed his parents to fund his assassination attempt on Trump.
Before handing down his sentence, Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Ralph Ramirez rejected an argument by Casap’s attorney that he should be granted a chance for extended supervision after serving 20 years.
Ramirez explained he considered Casap’s age when deciding his fate, but told the court the “bizarre circumstances” of the murders, including living with the bodies afterward, shocked him.
“I can’t understand, I don’t know anybody could understand or put any kind of rationale behind what happened,” Ramirez said, adding: “I’m not immune to the fact that I have a very young man here, and that whatever decision I make is going to affect that young man for the rest of his life.”
However, the judge ruled: “I choose to find that he is not eligible for release to extended supervision because I donât know, given the nature of these acts, whether a profound and significant change can occur.”

Casap planned to drop a homemade bomb on the president.
Casap had one last chance to address the court, where he tried to explain his motives.
“I felt that the world was a sick and evil place, and my actions to try to change it were justified,” he said, fighting back tears. “I thought I was part of a revolution. Part of a war.
“I told myself, ‘bad things happened in a war.’ I wish I had at least questioned the extremists I was listening to.”

He expressed regret over killing his parents.
He also mentioned how much he loved his mother and stepfather through sobs. He recalled taking walks through the neighborhood with her and playing basketball with his stepfather.
“This was the mother I killed. The person I chose to kill. The person who loved me no matter what. The mother who always took care of me,” he said emotionally. “I miss talking to her. I miss my mom.
“I would much rather be with her and my stepdad, now in heaven, than being on Earth having done what I did.”
“What I did was vile. What I did was thoughtless. What I did was wrong,” the teen added.
