UPDATE: Marcus Bausley, 39, was arrested on February 21, 2025, on I-65 in Gary, IN, with a self-inflicted stab wound.
Chicago, IL – The Chicago Police Department (CPD) is actively investigating two separate stabbing incidents that occurred less than two miles apart on the city’s South Side Thursday evening, leaving one woman dead and an 11-year-old boy critically injured.
The first incident took place around 8:10 p.m. in the 200 block of West 66th Street in the Englewood neighborhood, near the Dan Ryan Expressway.
Officers responded to reports of a stabbing and arrived to find Chicago Fire Department paramedics treating an 11-year-old boy who had suffered multiple stab wounds to the chest.
He was immediately transported to Comer Children’s Hospital, where he remains in critical condition.
This domestic violence-related attack led to an Amber Alert for a missing child, identified as Tristan Gaters.
Authorities have since confirmed that the child has been found safe, and the alert was canceled.
According to family members, the suspect in the stabbing of the 11-year-old is Marcus Bausley, the boyfriend of the child’s mother.
Earlier that evening, around 6:55 p.m., officers responded to another stabbing incident inside a residence located in the 7100 block of South Eberhart Avenue.
A 33-year-old woman, identified as Teone Jones, sustained multiple stab wounds, including injuries to her back and abdomen.
She was rushed to the University of Chicago Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.
Authorities have not confirmed whether the two incidents are connected. As of now, no suspects are in custody, and Area One Detectives continue to investigate.
Police are urging anyone with information to come forward. Anonymous tips can be submitted online at cpdtip.org.
This remains an active and developing case, and further updates will be provided as more details emerge.
MT. JULIET, Tenn. — Authorities have identified two victims killed during an active shooter incident at Cedar Creek Marina in Mt. Juliet late Friday night.
The suspect, identified as Gary Haley, a convicted felon with an extensive criminal history, is deceased following an officer-involved shooting, officials confirmed.
Mount Juliet Police officers were dispatched at approximately 9:30 p.m. Friday to the Cedar Creek Marina, located in the 9000 block of Saundersville Road, after receiving reports of a man threatening another individual on the docks.

Upon arrival, officers located an adult male suffering from a gunshot wound.
The victim was later identified as Robby Brogdon, who was transported to a local hospital for emergency medical treatment.
Despite life-saving efforts, Brogdon later succumbed to his injuries.
