MILWAUKEE, WI (AP)— A Wisconsin teenager charged in the deaths of his parents faces wider allegations that he killed them to “obtain the financial means” to assassinate President Donald Trump and overthrow the government.
Nikita Casap, 17, was charged last month by Waukesha County authorities with 1st-degree murder, theft, and other crimes in the deaths of his mother and stepfather. He allegedly fatally shot them at their home outside Milwaukee in February.
Federal authorities also accuse Casap of buying a drone and explosives, and sharing his plans with others.
Citing Casap's writings, a federal warrant said the teenager wanted to spur governmental collapse by “by getting rid of the president and perhaps the vice president.”
