Woman allegedly stabs 3-year-old boy to death, wounds his mother in random attack at grocery store parking lot

A woman allegedly stabbed a 3-year-old boy to death with a kitchen knife outside an Ohio grocery store in what authorities have described as a random attack.

Little Julian Wood and his mother Margot were both stabbed around 3 p.m. Monday in the parking lot of a Giant Eagle grocery store in North Olmsted, a city 15 miles outside of Cleveland, local officials said.

Officers responded to a report about a possible stabbing in the parking lot and located the suspect, 32-year-old Bionca Ellis, still carrying the kitchen knife she used in the fatal attack, North Olmsted officials said Tuesday.

First responders provided aid to the victims, who were taken to St. John Medical Center, where Julian died from stab wounds suffered to his back and chest, police said.
