Each item, a reminder of the innocence lost in a violent tragedy on Monday.
While a community grieves, police continue to release new evidence linked directly to the murder.
The latest, surveillance video captured inside the store that shows the accused killer, Bionca Ellis, holding a knife in plain sight.
Just moments later, police say Ellis carried out a random but targeted stabbing attack on 38-year-old Margot Wood and her son, Julian.

The work to piece together all that happened in this case continues to unfold at a rapid pace.
But for the Wood family, this weekend is all about honoring Julian.
A Mass of Christian Burial for Julian will be Saturday, June 8 at St. Charles Borromeo Church along Ridge Road in Parma.
After, the community is invited to take part in what the family is calling a “memory line” as a procession leads from the church to Sunset Memorial Park in North Olmsted, where the young boy will be interred.

“Two of JuJu’s favorite things were the color green and dinosaurs. Celebrate JuJu’s life by flooding the streets with the COLOR GREEN or DINOSAURS.”
