CHICAGO (WLS) — A suspect in a fatal stabbing and kidnappings in Chicago that led to a police chase in northwest Indiana appeared in court Friday.
Chicago police said 33-year-old Teone Jones was stabbed to death and her two young sons were critically injured in stabbings last month.

Malik Wilson, the brother of Jones, expressed the family’s desire for justice following the court hearing, mentioning that attending the event brought back painful memories.
Wilson admitted that the wait for the court proceedings felt like anticipating a rollercoaster ride, triggering a replay of the distressing events. Despite the emotional turmoil, he acknowledged that the experience has made him stronger.
According to prosecutors, on February 20, Teone Jones was discovered stabbed in her South Side residence by her mother. Despite fighting for her life, she succumbed to her injuries after being rushed to the hospital.
Late Thursday night, her boyfriend and father of her youngest of three children, Bausley, was extradited to Cook County from Indiana to face multiple charges, including murder, attempted murder and kidnapping.
Police said Bausley killed Jones and stabbed her 12-year-old and 8-year-old sons before kidnapping the two boys. He later released them.

Doorbell video showed the oldest brother knocking on doors, pleading for help that night, while at another location, his younger brother is seen on video wandering around a gas station before he was found by police.
Jones’ brother gave an update on the boys’ conditions Friday.
“He’s still in critical condition,” Wilson said. “The other one still has injuries, like stitches in his hand and stuff. But, they’re both strong.”
The day after the stabbings, Bausley was arrested in Lake County, Indiana after a police pursuit on I-65.
Friday in court, a judge decided to keep Bausley held in custody until his trial.
Sources told ABC7 that Bausley is a case worker with the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center. He has been placed on paid administrative leave while charges against him are pending.
