CLEVELAND (WJW) – A jury could start deciding Tuesday if Bionca Ellis should be convicted for killing a young child and attacking his mother in the parking lot of a grocery store.
The child’s mother testified last week during the murder trial. She cried on the stand as she described Ellis with a knife stabbing her son, 3-year-old Julian Wood, for no reason. The boy’s mother, Margot Wood, was also stabbed in the attack that happened in June of 2024 in the parking lot of the Giant Eagle in North Olmsted. Margot Wood said she did not know Ellis.

Ellis has entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity, so it will be up to the jurors to decide if she was sane at the time of the attack…
