A 17-year-old high school student has been arrested and charged with murdering his mother and stepfather, with evidence suggesting he planned to assassinate Donald Trump and overthrow the US government.
White Supremacist Ideology
The FBI investigation revealed that Nikita Kazep, the suspect, was influenced by white supremacist ideology, specifically the Order of Nine Angles, a neo-Nazi group. His phone contained messages praising Adolf Hitler and expressing anti-Semitic views. Kazep’s handwritten documents detailed his plan to kill Trump, which he saw as the starting point for a broader political revolution.
Planning and Preparation
Kazep’s documents showed he had been planning the murder of his parents to gain financial independence and freedom to carry out his plans. He had discussed his plans with someone in Russia and had already purchased a drone and explosives. His plan was to flee to Ukraine after completing his mission. The investigation found that Kazep had been stockpiling valuable items and cash, totaling $14,000, much of which was hidden in a Bible.
Investigation and Arrest
The bodies of Kazep’s mother, Tatiana Kazep, 35, and stepfather, Donald Meyer, 51, were discovered on February 28 in their Waukesha home. Local authorities had been alerted after Kazep failed to attend school for over two weeks. Meyer had been shot in the head, while Tatiana Kazep had been shot multiple times. The murders were believed to have occurred around February 11. Kazep was arrested in Kansas after being pulled over while driving his stepfather’s 2018 Volkswagen Atlas. A .357 gun belonging to Meyer was found in the vehicle, along with the stolen goods.
Kazep’s court hearing is scheduled for May 7, where he will face formal charges. The FBI’s investigation is ongoing, with sources indicating that Kazep’s actions were motivated by a desire to spark a larger political uprising.
