In a statement, YouTube said the video, which was uploaded and not live-streamed, was removed for violating its graphic violence policy. The channel was shut down.
Mohn previously embraced violent anti-government rhetoric in writings he published online going back several years.
In August 2020, he published an online “pamphlet” in which he tried to make the case that people born on or after 1991 — his birth year — should carry out what he termed a “bloody revolution”. He also encouraged assassinations of family members and public officials.
In the video posted after the killing, he described his father as a 20-year federal employee and called him a traitor to his country. He also espoused a variety of conspiracy theories and ranted about the Biden government, immigration, fiscal policy, urban crime and the war in Ukraine.
He then drove his father’s car to Fort Indiantown Gap, where he was taken into custody, said Captain Pete Feeney, of the Middletown Township police department.
Officials at Fort Indiantown Gap were told late Tuesday that Mohn’s cellphone had pinged nearby, according to Angela Watson, communications director for the Pennsylvania department of military and veterans affairs.
Investigators caught up with him inside a National Guard base, where he was walking after having apparently jumped the fence. He had a gun when he was caught, Ms Watson said.
