Woman accused of murdering toddler at North Olmsted Giant Eagle will not stand trial for now

North Olmsted police arrested Ellis, 33, of Cleveland, minutes after the attack as he walked on Dover Center Road carrying the knife allegedly used in the attack.

According to Det. Sgt. Matthew Beck of the North Olmsted Police Department and Cuyahoga County District Attorney Michael O'Malley, Ellis stole two knives from the Volunteers of America thrift store next to Giant Eagle.

She then allegedly entered the Giant Eagle, saw the victims exit, followed them and immediately stabbed Julian, who was sitting in the shopping cart.

Margot was stabbed as she tried to pull her child out of the shopping cart, O'Malley said.

Ellis was charged with:

• 1 count of aggravated murder
• 2 cases of murder
• 2 cases of attempted murder
• 1 case of endangerment of children
• 1 count of falsifying evidence
• 1 charge of petty theft

“This case is truly devastating. I want to express my deepest condolences to the Wood family during this difficult time,” said Cuyahoga County Prosecutor O'Malley. “As a father, I cannot even begin to imagine the grief they are going through, but I can promise that we will do everything in our power to bring justice to Julian Wood and the Wood family.”

North Olmsted police said the attack appears to have been random.

Julian's funeral took place on June 8th.
