In brief
Nikita Casap, 18, is expected to enter a plea deal in Waukesha County Circuit Court regarding charges for the murders of his mother and stepfather. The case reveals disturbing intentions behind the crimes — newly uncovered evidence suggests he hoped to fund an assassination plot against former President Trump.
A Wisconsin man, Nikita Casap, 18, is set to enter a plea deal on Thursday in connection with the alleged murder of his parents. Facing multiple charges, including two counts of homicide, Casap reportedly shot his mother and stepfather at their Waukesha home in February. After the murders, he lived with the bodies for weeks before escaping with valuables and his stepfather's gun, triggering a nationwide manhunt that ended with his arrest in Kansas. Federal authorities have since linked him to a complex assassination plot targeting former President Trump, revealing that he purchased drones and explosives and communicated plans with others. His defense attorney has not publicly commented on the details of the plea agreement.
