NORTH OLMSTED, Ohio — A GoFundMe has raised more than $175,000 for the family of 3-year-old Julian Wood, who was killed in a double stabbing outside of a Giant Eagle in North Olmsted earlier this week.

The fundraiser had topped $115,000 by 10:30 a.m. Wednesday before jumping to $120,315 by 11:48 a.m. It has now climbed to $175,044 as of 6:35 a.m. Thursday.
North Olmsted police said it was shortly after 3 p.m. Monday when Julian and his mother, 38-year-old Margot Wood, were stabbed in the parking lot of the Giant Eagle in the 27200 block of Lorain Road.
Both were taken to the hospital for treatment, but the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office said Julian died from his injuries. Margot is expected to make a full recovery, according to police.
When officers responded to the situation, they found the suspect — identified as Bionca Ellis of Cleveland — walking toward Dover Center Road holding a knife. She was taken into custody without incident.
As police continue their investigation, they have said it appears this was “a random act of violence” as Ellis had no prior interactions with the victims before the stabbing.
Ellis has since been indicted on the following charges:
- One count of aggravated murder
- Two counts of murder
- Two counts of attempted murder
- Two counts of felonious assault
- One count of endangering children
- One count of tampering with evidence
- One count of misdemeanor theft
After making an initial appearance in Rocky River Municipal Court earlier this week, she’s set for an arraignment hearing in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court on Monday, June 10, at 8:30 a.m.
