New details have emerged in the random, fatal stabbing of a toddler outside an Ohio grocery store.
Police say 32-year-old Bionca Ellis fatally stabbed Julian Wood , three, while in the parking lot of a Giant Eagle supermarket in North Olmsted with his mother, Margot Wood. Ellis has since been arrested and charged with 10 counts, including aggravated murder, Sergeant Matthew Beck of the North Olmsted Police Department told The Independent .
Ellis is being held on $1m bond. Police say Ellis stabbed the boy on Monday and walked away within seconds, giving witnesses nearby no time to stop the attack, the Associated Press previously reported. Nasja Aude, Julian’s aunt, says Margot was also stabbed.
“While Margot was opening the trunk of her car to put groceries away the woman viciously attacked and stabbed both Margot and Julian,” Aude wrote on a GoFundMe for the Wood family. “Medical and Emergency services were on site immediately… Margot and Julian were rushed to St John hospital, but Julian’s injuries were far too extensive and he did not make it.”
