About the Case: In June 2024, 3-year-old Julian Wood was stabbed to death outside a Giant Eagle grocery store in North Olmsted, Ohio, while his mother, Margot Wood, was loading groceries into her car. Prosecutors say Bionca Ellis, a 34-year-old woman with no prior criminal record, stole two knives from a nearby Volunteers of America store, then followed the mother and child out of the grocery store before launching a random, brutal attack.

Margot survived her injuries, but Julian tragically did not. Authorities say Ellis appeared calm after the stabbing, walking away with the blood-covered knife still in her hand before being arrested moments later.

Charges
• Aggravated Murder
• Murder
• Attempted Murder

• Child Endangering

Potential Sentence: Life in prison

Day 4 in Court
• Lead detective Sean Ventrice described a chaotic scene at Giant Eagle, finding Julian lifeless in a pool of blood and the murder weapon—a bloody gray knife with a Volunteer of America sticker—near the curb.
• Crime scene photos and surveillance from multiple nearby stores were shown. Ellis openly carried the knives and did not conceal them before or after the stabbing.
• Julian suffered two fatal stab wounds—one to the face that severed major arteries and one to the back that punctured his lung.
• The state rested after medical examiner Dr. Mooney detailed the autopsy findings.
• The defense motion for acquittal was denied on the murder charges but granted on tampering with evidence.
• Forensic psychiatrist Dr. Megan Testa testified Ellis has schizophrenia, a long history of delusions, and multiple hospitalizations tied to medication noncompliance.
• Ellis displayed psychotic symptoms in jail—refusing medication, talking about dinosaurs, and showing disorganized behavior.
• Testa said Ellis improves on medication but relapses when off it; she could not determine Ellis’s sanity at the time of the attack, only her competency.

This case is presided over by Judge Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas.
