Amber Alert Suspect Captured: Marcus Bausley Apprehended in Indiana Following Fatal Chicago Stabbing
Marcus A. Bausley, the subject of an Amber Alert and a suspect in a fatal stabbing and two attempted murders in Chicago, has been captured on Interstate 65 in Indiana, authorities confirmed.
Bausley, 39, was taken into custody by the Indiana State Police and the Lake County Sheriff’s Office after a pursuit.
At the conclusion of the chase, he sustained a self-inflicted stab wound to the chest in an apparent attempt to take his own life and evade arrest.
However, he survived the injury and was taken into custody.
Bausley was wanted in connection with a violent domestic incident on Chicagoโs South Side, where a 33-year-old woman was fatally stabbed, and her 11-year-old son was critically injured.
Authorities responded to a residence on the 7100 block of South Eberhart Avenue around 6:55 p.m. Thursday, where they found Teone Jones, 33, suffering from multiple stab wounds to her back and abdomen.
She was transported to the University of Chicago Hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries.
Shortly afterward, around 8:10 p.m., Chicago Police were called to the 200 block of West 66th Street in Englewood after reports of a child being stabbed.
Upon arrival, officers discovered Jones’ 11-year-old son with multiple stab wounds to the chest.
He was transported to Comer Childrenโs Hospital, where he remains in critical but stable condition.
The incident prompted an Amber Alert when Jonesโ 8-year-old son, Tristan Gaters, was reported missing.
He was later found safe, and the alert was canceled.
Chicago Area One Detectives continue to investigate the sequence of events leading to the stabbings and abduction.
Authorities have urged anyone with information to submit anonymous tips through cpdtip.org or call Chicago Police Departmentโs homicide unit at (513) 352-3542.
Police are expected to hold a press conference soon to provide further updates on the case.

Venezuelan national Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis shot in the leg by an immigration agent in Minneapolis
On January 14, 2025, federal law enforcement personnel were engaged in a targeted enforcement operation involving Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, a Venezuelan national who has been present in the United States since 2022.
The operation escalated into a high-speed pursuit, a physical confrontation, and an ambush by multiple subjects, necessitating the use of a defensive firearm discharge by a federal agent.
At approximately 6:50 PM, federal officers initiated a targeted traffic stop of a vehicle operated by Sosa-Celis.
The subject refused to comply with law enforcement commands and attempted to flee the scene.
During the pursuit, the subjectโs vehicle collided with a stationary, parked car.
Following the collision, the subject abandoned the vehicle and fled the scene on foot.
A federal agent pursued the suspect on foot and successfully intercepted him. As the agent attempted to effect an arrest, the subject became combative, resulting in a violent struggle on the ground.
During this confrontation, two additional male subjects emerged from a nearby residence to intervene.
These individuals reportedly ambushed the agent, utilizing a snow shovel and a broom handle to strike the officer.
The situation escalated when the primary suspect, Sosa-Celis, regained his footing and joined the two additional subjects in the assault.
Reports indicate the suspect struck the agent with a blunt object (identified as either the shovel or broom handle).
Citing an immediate threat to his life while being outnumbered and actively assaulted by three individuals, the agent discharged his service weapon in self-defense.
The discharge struck Sosa-Celis in the lower extremity (leg). Following the shot, all three suspects retreated into a nearby apartment complex and initiated a barricade situation.
Following a brief standoff, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) successfully secured the perimeter and apprehended all three individuals without further injury.
Both the federal agent and Sosa-Celis were transported to a local medical facility for treatment.
Images from the scene showed Sosa-Celis conscious and alert during transport.
All three subjects involved in the assault are currently in the custody of ICE.
Further charges related to the assault on a federal officer and resisting arrest are pending review by the U.S. Attorneyโs Office.
