Bionca Ellis to face judge in murder of 3-year-old Julian Wood after boy stabbed outside Giant Eagle

Bionca Ellis, the 32-year-old Cleveland woman accused of killing 3-year-old Julian Wood in a double stabbing outside of a Giant Eagle in North Olmsted, is scheduled to face a judge on multiple charges.

Ellis has been indicted on the following charges:

One count of aggravated murder
Two counts of murder
Two counts of attempted murder
Two counts of felonious assault
One count of endangering children
One count of tampering with evidence
One count of misdemeanor theft

North Olmsted police said it was shortly after 3 p.m. on Monday, June 3, when Julian and his mother, 38-year-old Margot Wood, were stabbed in the parking lot of the Giant Eagle in the 27200 block of Lorain Road.

Both were taken to the hospital for treatment, but the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office later said Julian died from his injuries. Margot is expected to make a full recovery, according to police.

When officers responded to the situation, they found the suspect -- identified as Ellis -- walking toward Dover Center Road holding a knife. She was taken into custody without incident.

As police continue their investigation, they have said it appears this was “a random act of violence” as Ellis had no prior interactions with the victims before the stabbing.
