COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – Several high profile local cases are headed to trial in 2025, including multiple for former Columbus police officers and women accused of killing their children.  Incidents that garnered national attention, including three officer-involved shootings and the killings of two children, are scheduled to see their day in court this year.  While records show the following trials are expected to occur in Franklin County courtrooms in 2025, trial dates are subject to change.  Connor Grubb Connor Grubb, 30, is charged with four counts of murder, four counts of felonious assault and two counts of involuntary manslaughter in relation to the deaths of Ta’Kiya Young, 21, and her unborn daughter. The charges stem from an August 2023 incident, in which Young was caught on camera stealing several bottles of liquor with two others from a Kroger in northeast Columbus, then exiting the store. A store employee flagged down Grubb and another officer from Blendon Township police – who happened to be there helping a person get into their locked car – and directed them to Young.  New leadership sworn in at Ohio Statehouse The pair approached Young, who was in a parked car with no license plate. The accompanying officer yelled at her multiple times to get out of her car as Grubb moved in front of it. She responded, “I didn’t steal s—,” and, “What, are you going to shoot me?”. Young then began to pull out of her parking spot, when Grubb fired a single shot through the windshield as he fell onto the hood. Young was taken to a hospital, where she and the unborn child died. Grubb said multiple times at the scene that Young “was going to run [him] over.” His trial is set for July 14.

After pursuing Goodson to his grandmother’s house, Meade said Goodson was standing in the doorway of the house when he pointed his gun back at Meade. Goodson was shot six times, five of which hit his back. Investigators said a handgun was recovered from Goodson, who had a concealed carry permit. The state argued that the shooting was unjustified, citing a lack of corroboration that Goodson pointed his gun, either in his car or at his door. Meade’s retrial is scheduled to begin on Feb. 27.  Casey Goodson Jr., left, and former Franklin County Sheriff's Deputy Jason Meade Lashanda Wilder and Johnna Lowe Lashanda Wilder, 32, and Johnna Lowe, 33, are each charged with endangering children, felonious assault, murder, tampering with evidence and abuse of a corpse, in the death of Wilder’s 8-year-old son Martonio. On June 28, Columbus police officers were called by Wilder around noon. They spoke with her and her girlfriend, Lowe, when Wilder said she last saw Martonio on Thursday night. Police issued a missing person’s advisory for Martonio but did not elevate it to an Amber Alert. They began a K-9 search of the neighborhood, after which Wilder and Lowe left without telling police where they were going. With them were Wilder's other two children, aged 9 and 3. New details for Cameron Mitchell hotel, restaurant in Dublin’s Bridge Park After police could not reach Wilder, a search warrant was obtained for the house, leading to the discovery of Martonio’s body that evening. Court records said the body was found in the attic in a trash bag that had been placed in a sleeping bag cover. Martonio’s cause of death was later determined to be compression of the neck. Shortly after discovering Martonio, an Amber Alert was briefly issued for the two other children, who were found safe with an acquaintance of Lowe’s, and then placed in the custody of Franklin County Children Services. Prosecutors have since shared allegations of abuse that go back years before the death, claiming Wilder has admitted to locking Martonio in a small coat closet where he slept at night so he could not “sneak out for food.”  An autopsy also revealed that Martonio was severely malnourished and dehydrated, with multiple cuts and bruises when he died.  Wilder’s trial is scheduled to begin on Jan. 16, and Lowe’s on Jan. 30.  Wilder (left) and Lowe (right).Martonio Wilder Pammy Maye Pammy Maye, 50, is charged with aggravated murder, abuse of a corpse and three counts of tampering with evidence in relation to the death of Darnell Taylor, 5, of whom she was a legal guardian.  On Feb. 14, Maye’s husband called 911, telling dispatchers Maye said Taylor was dead and that he could not find the child in their home, located in Columbus' South Side. Maye then fled the area, prompting a statewide Amber Alert for Taylor. Officers found Maye on Feb. 15 inside a building near Cleveland. Maye then admitted to killing the boy because he ate snacks in bed and told investigators where they could locate his body.  Watch: Porch pirate snatches package worth over $1,000 in front of delivery driver Maye repeatedly referred to the killing as premeditated, explaining to law enforcement how on Feb. 13, hours after she learned Taylor had eaten in bed, she went to his bedroom with a trash bag. She placed him in the bag, tied it and waited 10 minutes, she said. Maye said she then placed his body, still in the bag, in a closet. When her husband came home, Maye said he thought Taylor was asleep. At about 1:30 a.m. on Feb. 14, she disposed of Taylor’s body. Police revealed on Feb. 16 they found Taylor dead in a sewage drain in the 1000 block of Marsdale Avenue. Her trial is scheduled to start on Jan. 21, according to Franklin County court records.  Pammy Maye (Courtesy/Franklin County Municipal Court)Darnell Taylor. Ricky Anderson Former Columbus police officer Ricky Anderson, 62, is charged with murder and reckless homicide for fatally shooting Donovan Lewis, 20. On Aug. 30, 2022, several Columbus police officers, including Anderson, went to an apartment building in the Hilltop neighborhood to serve Lewis an arrest warrant. Lewis was facing charges of improperly handling a firearm, assault and domestic violence. List: Companies with Ohio ties that filed for bankruptcy in 2024 Once in the apartment, a police dog began barking at a bedroom door in the back of the unit. Anderson and another officer walked to that door, with their guns drawn, prepared to open it. Body camera footage showed Anderson shot Lewis, who was sitting up in bed, within a second of opening the bedroom door.  Police Chief Elaine Bryant told reporters in August 2022 that Anderson fired his gun when Lewis appeared to raise a hand with something in it. While Lewis was determined to be unarmed, Bryant stated that a vape pen was found in the bed next to him.  Anderson’s trial is scheduled to begin on May 5.  Ricky AndersonDonovan Lewis (Courtesy Photo/Lewis Family)
