An Ohio woman has been convicted of the fatal stabbing of a three-year-old boy who was sitting in a grocery trolley outside a supermarket in suburban Cleveland.
Bionca Ellis, 34, from Cleveland, was found guilty on Wednesday following a week-long trial. She faces sentencing on 27 October by Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge John Russo, who will determine whether she receives life in prison with or without the possibility of parole.
The verdict covers nine criminal counts, including aggravated murder, felonious assault, child endangering, and aggravated theft, stemming from the attack on 3 June 2024.
The incident killed Julian Wood and left his mother injured, according to the office of Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael C. O'Malley. Ms Ellis has been held on a $5 million bond since her indictment last year.
