Three Accused in Seven-Year-Old’s Murder | Cincinnati News

Three adults face 13 felony charges—including aggravated murder and kidnapping—for the brutal death of 7-year-old William Evans-Ellis, allegedly after weeks of abuse including beatings, burns, and drowning. Found bound with duct tape in a closet, William’s body reveals a horrifying pattern of violence. The trio, who co-parented him, allegedly planned the crime via encrypted texts for over a month. Each is jailed on $1M bonds they can’t afford, and one lawyer seeks a mental competency evaluation. Prosecutors are still investigating—and haven’t ruled out the death penalty.
