A woman who had reportedly worked in child care for the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services allegedly stabbed a three-year-old boy to death four days after she had a warrant out for her arrest for a theft conviction, was arrested, and then released. When the murder charge was read to her in court, she smirked and giggled.
Bionca Ellis, 32, is reported to have stolen knives from a thrift store in North Olmstead, Ohio, then allegedly followed 3-year-old Julian Wood and his mother Margot out of the store before stabbing the child to death and also stabbing his mother when she tried to save her son and pull him from the shopping cart, according to Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O’Malley. When Judge Nancy Margaret in the Cuyahoga Court of Common Pleas announced that Ellis was charged with murder, aggravated murder, attempted murder, felonious assault, endangering children, tampering with evidence and misdemeanor theft, she smirked and giggled.

Jared Wood came into court and apparently saw his son’s alleged murderer. In a heartbreaking response to the judge asking his name, he told the judge, “My name is Jared Wood, father of the deceased, husband of Margot. Your honor, that day, one week ago, she took everything from us. There’s nothing that could ever replace my son or anything that my wife and I and our other kids are going through. It’s horrendous. I really wish no bail, period. Or extend it to the max limit possible that you can, at the very least. Just do whatever you can to keep this monster behind bars.”
This poor dad had to watch as his 3-year-old son’s kiIIer smiled, laughed, and smirked when read her charges.
I don’t know how he’s even keeping his composure. He should be afforded 10 minutes in a room alone with her and some tools of his choosing. https://t.co/Jcy3sJ3Yex pic.twitter.com/GTcN1g71B0

JUST IN: Bionca Ellis, the woman who stabbed a 3-year-old to d*ath in Ohio was a government employee for the Ohio Dept of Job and Family Services. She worked in child care.
In 2023 she was charged for stealing. Government really not hiring the best…
Hopefully she goes to… https://t.co/iUmOcbxMFR pic.twitter.com/bd8oc8mJd7
