LONGMONT, Colo. — A teen accused in the stabbing death of a 20-year-old woman is expected to enter a plea in the case on May 3, according to Shannon Carbone with the Boulder District Attorney's Office. 

Aiden Von Grabow, 15, at the time of the killing, is accused of stabbing Longmont resident Makayla Grote to death in November 2017. 

Von Grabow also had a "kill list," according to court testimony. It was a list of names, including some of his friends, and descriptions of how he'd murder them. Von Grabow even threatened Grote's younger sister.

“Torture till she begs for mercy,” the note read, according to testimony from Longmont Police Detective Brian Dean. “Make her fight, then take hostage.”

Court testimony from a police officer said Von Grabow's mother called police days before the attack on Grote saying he'd kicked in a door and came at her with a knife.

She also allegedly told investigators her son had a bunch of weapons, including Molotov cocktails and a machete. That was just a day before the teen allegedly killed Grote.

A judge decided Von Grabow would be tried in district court as an adult early last month.
