Bond set at $5 million for Bionca Ellis, accused of killing 3-year-old Julian Wood

Bond has been set at $5 million for 32-year-old Bionca Ellis, the Cleveland woman accused of killing 3-year-old Julian Wood in a double stabbing outside of a Giant Eagle in North Olmsted.

Ellis is due back in court for a pretrial hearing at 9 a.m. on Monday, June 17, with Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge John Russo assigned to the case.

When the arraignment hearing first began, Ellis appeared via video while holding her head down as Judge Nancy Margaret Russo asked her a series of questions -- many of which Ellis did not answer.

Prior to the judge announcing bond, Julian's father took a moment to address the court with the following statement:

"That day, one week ago, she took everything from us. There’s nothing that could ever replace my son or anything that my wife and I, even our other kids, are going through. It’s horrendous. I really wish no bail. Period. Or extend it to the maximum limit possible that you can, at the very least. Just do whatever you can to keep this monster behind bars.”
