Jared Wood, the father of the 3-year-old, stated in the court, "There’s nothing that could ever replace my son." Margot Wood, the child's mother said, “Just do whatever you can to keep this monster behind bars." 

A Fundraiser For Julian 

According to a fundraiser started by Julian's loved ones, during the attack, Margot was also injured.

The GoFundMe page said, "While Margot was opening the trunk of her car to put groceries away, the woman viciously attacked and stabbed both Margot and Julian." As per the reports, Ellis was arrested immediately after the incident. 

The fundraiser said, "This will be an incredibly long journey to recovery, but truthfully we will never recover - but we will continue to share stories about our beautiful baby boy, his laugh, his cheesy smile, his rambunctious attitude, his love of dinosaurs, his love of school, his obsession with his new baby sister and wrestling his big brother every chance he gets... and all the other beautiful things about that sweet little boy."
