The 8 and 11-year-old boys are now out of harm’s way and are receiving treatment at Comer Children’s Hospital. There, it’s going to be a long road to recovery\u2014both physically and mentally\u2014after the traumatic events they experienced.<\/p>\n
The first attack was reported just before 7 p.m. on Thursday in the 7100 block of South Eberhart Avenue in Greater Grand Crossing, according to police.<\/p>\n
A 33-year-old woman was stabbed several times in the back and abdomen, police said. She was taken to the University of Chicago Hospital where she was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office, on Friday, identified her as Teone Jones.<\/p>\n
Around 8:10 p.m. on Thursday, Jones’ 11-year-old son was found suffering from several stab wounds to the abdomen in the 200 block of West 66th Street, police said.<\/p>\n
He was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital where he was listed in critical condition.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Jones’ younger son was reported missing.<\/p>\n
Around 1 a.m. Friday, Chicago police issued a child abduction alert for Jones’ 8-year-old son.<\/p>\n
The boy had also been stabbed multiple times in the chest, according to police scanner audio.<\/p>\n
An Amber Alert issued early Friday morning revealed that the boy was last seen around 7:40 p.m. at 7144 S. Eberhart Avenue. According to the alert, the boy was reportedly seen in an SUV with the suspect, a 39-year-old man.<\/p>\n
Hours later, on Friday morning, heartbreaking surveillance video captured the boy walking alone into a gas station convenience store near 82nd Street and Damen Avenue.<\/p>\n
Located in the city’s Auburn Gresham neighborhood, the young boy sought help from the gas station clerk.<\/p>\n
The Amber Alert was canceled at 4:23 a.m. with Illinois State Police confirming the boy had been located.<\/p>\n
The boy is currently being treated at Comer Children’s Hospital. He was originally listed in critical condition.<\/p>\n
A man was taken into custody in connection with the attacks around 10 a.m. Friday on Interstate 65 near 137th Street in Indiana.<\/p>\n
The suspect was identified by the Lake County Sheriff’s Department as Marcus Bausley, 39.<\/p>\n
At approximately 9:30 a.m., the Lake County Sheriff\u2019s Department was alerted by a license plate reader system that identified the suspect’s vehicle. By 9:40 a.m., the vehicle was located at I-65 and U.S. 30 in Merrillville.<\/p>\n
The Indiana State Police, along with the Lake County Highway Interdiction and High Crime Unit, began a pursuit.<\/p>\n
Officer used an immobilization technique to box in the suspect’s vehicle, bringing it to a stop.<\/p>\n
Bausley reportedly refused to exit the car and held a knife to his neck before officers took him into custody.<\/p>\n
He was taken into custody and transported to a local hospital where he is being treated for a superficial wound to the neck and a stab wound to his abdomen.<\/p>\n
On Friday night, the Lake County Sheriff\u2019s Department confirmed that Bausley remains in the hospital for treatment and evaluation.<\/p>\n
His vehicle was transported to the Lake County Sheriff\u2019s Department and is being held as part of the Chicago Police Department’s homicide investigation.<\/p>\n
According to a spokesperson for the sheriff\u2019s department, once charges are filed by the Chicago Police Department regarding crimes committed in Illinois, the suspect will be extradited.<\/p>\n

Friends and family\u2014in shock by the overnight events that turned their lives upside down\u2014are now remembering Teone Jones and the light she brought with her.<\/p>\n
“She was one of a kind,” said Ashley, a friend of the victim.<\/p>\n
“The moment I met her, she was just the sweetest person ever. She was so welcoming,” another friend, Mario, said.<\/p>\n
Mario met Jones when they were freshmen attending Lincoln University, an HBCU in Jefferson City, Missouri.<\/p>\n
“Teone was just someone you could talk to. She had the best advice; she was just always there. She was very smart,” Mario said.<\/p>\n
Jones, who also graduated from DuSable High School in Bronzeville, was a hair stylist.<\/p>\n
Her friend, Ashley, told FOX 32 Chicago by phone that Jones loved to make others feel beautiful.<\/p>\n
“We became close friends \u2013 we were like, inseparable,” Ashley said of their time together during high school and college. “We did everything together. We danced together, we cooked together, we cried together.”<\/p>\n
At 33 years old, Jones’ life was taken far too soon. The incident and what followed left loved ones stunned.<\/p>\n
“It started to get surreal minute by minute,” Mario said upon learning of the tragic series of events.<\/p>\n
Jones’ friends said the suspect, Bausley, was the father of her youngest son.<\/p>\n
Now, a difficult reality is setting in.<\/p>\n
“I can’t believe her children are motherless,” Mario said. “It’s a lot to take in. She was a beautiful soul.”<\/p>\n
The Lake County Sheriff\u2019s Department is continuing to investigate other aspects of the case.<\/p>\n
“I would like to thank the numerous agencies that assisted in helping to bring a dangerous suspect into custody,” said Lake County Sheriff Oscar Martinez Jr.<\/p>\n
Formal charges against Bausley have yet to be announced.<\/p>\n
