In a horrifying incident, a young child was brutally attacked in front of his mother while she was busy unloading groceries. The tragic event unfolded as Julian Wood sat in a shopping cart outside a supermarket, where Bionca Ellis approached him wielding stolen butcher knives and started assaulting him. Julian’s mother, Margot, intervened frantically to pull her son out of the cart during the vicious five-second attack, in which Julian sustained stab wounds to his face and back. Ellis was swiftly apprehended, still holding the bloodied weapon.
During the court proceedings, Julian’s father, Jared, fondly remembered his son as a vibrant and joyful child, labeling Ellis as a “monster.” He expressed deep sorrow over the loss and emphasized the need to keep Julian’s memory alive. Margot, addressing Ellis directly in an Ohio court, expressed intense hatred towards her, recounting the heartbreaking moments from Julian’s birth to his tragic passing in her arms.
Ellis, in a remorseful tone, apologized for the tragic events that transpired. She was subsequently convicted on multiple charges, including aggravated murder, murder, attempted murder, endangering children, and theft. Despite prior theft charges, Ellis had no history of violent offenses.
This tragic incident has left a family shattered and a community reeling from the senseless violence that unfolded that day.
