This video contains partially redacted Body cam footage of parking lot where 3-year-old was fatally stabbed in a "random attack" outside Giant Eagle supermarket in North Olmsted, an upper middle class suburb outside of Cleveland, Ohio.
A three-year-old boy has been stabbed to death and his mother wounded after a crazed woman charged at them outside a supermarket.
Margot Wood, 38, was loading groceries into the back of her car with her son Julian at Giant Eagle in North Olmsted, Cleveland, about 3pm on Monday.
Both were rushed to St John Medical Center but Julian died from the barrage of stab wounds to his back and cheek inflicted as he sat in the shopping cart. His mother's injuries were non life-threatening.
Police arrested Bionca Ellis, 32, as she was walking away from the scene, still holding a bloodied kitchen knife allegedly used in the attack.
Heartbreaking photos of the scene showed groceries scattered across the parking lot's asphalt where the mother and son where attacked.
Julian was born in November 2020 when his parents posted memorable photos of him as a newborn being cradled in his older brother's arms.
Detective Sergeant Matthew Beck said North Olmsted Police had no motive for the attack, calling it 'entirely a random act of violence'.
Ellis was arrested just days earlier on May 30 when police investigating an unrelated incident at a Walmart detained her on a parole violation, but she was released hours later and on Monday morning she (Ellis) went to the North Olmsted Police Department to discuss her arrest, where she left on a wheelchair and ditched it to continue on foot after she was blocked by a flight of stairs. The police station is right across the street from the Giant Eagle, where this occurred. Beck said she then bought the knife from a Volunteers of America Thrift Store (also right next to the police dept. & grocery store) and walked to the Giant Eagle where she spotted Wood and her son inside.
They did not interact with each other at all, but Ellis followed them into the store, stalking the mother and her son inside, she followed behind as they exited into the parking lot and charged at them brandishing the knife... knife swings directed to his back, neck and face, the cart and victims fell over during the struggle, with the boy still secured in the seat compartment of the shopping cart.
Ellis has 'no known violent criminal history' and her rap sheet only consisted of stealing from a nearby Walmart that was reduced to unauthorized use of property.
She was charged with aggravated murder and arraigned at Rocky River Municipal Court on Tuesday afternoon, where her bond was set at $1 million.
Police said she could face more charges when the case is presented to a Cuyahoga County Grand Jury in the court of Common Pleas.
Giant Eagle said it was providing counseling to its workers.
'We were heartbroken to learn of the passing of the young victim in yesterday's senseless act of violence,' it said.
'Our thoughts are with the child, his mother and their loved ones during this unimaginably difficult time.'
The same Giant Eagle was the scene of a murder-suicide on June 25 last year.
Bernard Smith shot dead his ex-wife Susan Petterson, 63, as she worked at the store before turning the gun on himself, two decades after they divorced in 2004.

In the new information that came out, it indicates she did this because she was mad about her recent arrest for her parole violation over shoplifting at Walmart. She went to the police headquarters asking for some money that was supposedly confiscated in the arrest, and was told by the lady at the police station that she didn't have any money to give her. She then leaves, and walks across the street, steals a butcher knife and begins looking for easy targets to prey on at the grocery store.
