County caseworker accused in ex-girlfriend's fatal stabbing allegedly threatened to kill her two months earlier, police reports show
A county caseworker accused of stabbing his ex-girlfriend to death and severely wounding two of her sons in February had been placed on desk duty at the Cook County Juvenile Detention Center after he allegedly threatened to kill the same woman two months earlier, police records show. Cook County prosecutors have charged Marcus Bausley, 40, with stabbing Teone Jones, 33, to death on Feb. 20 while they were at home in the Grand Crossing neighborhood. Bausley is also accused of abducting and stabbing two of Jones' young sons. A 'major incident notification' from the Chicago Police Department obtained in a Freedom of Information request describes Bausley as a Cook County Sheriff's Deputy, but a roster of Cook County employees lists him as a caseworker with the Juvenile Temporary Detention Center. His employment status was first reported by ABC7, shortly after his arrest. A spokesperson for the Office of the Chief Judge, which oversees the detention center, confirmed that Bausley had been hired in August 2015 and was terminated in March 2025. But that representative could not comment on Bausley's job duties after December 2024, when he allegedly threatened to kill Jones and himself and was placed on desk duty as a result. It was one of two instances over the fall and winter of 2024 that Jones apparently felt compelled to call authorities about Bausley, although none of the alleged confrontations resulted in charges. Records state that the pair stopped living together around September 2024, though Jones' family said she had moved back in with him shortly before her death. Two other police reports, filed over the course of two days in October 2024, state that Jones was walking into a restaurant in Little Italy when Bausley allegedly began calling her over and over, claiming he could see her with another man and forcing Jones to block his phone number. She then started getting calls from a private number and via Snapchat. Jones noted she had left her car outside the restaurant, according to the report, and came out to find her rear driver side window broken with a brick in the backseat. A second report alleged that Bausley called or texted Jones about 200 times. The couple had stopped living together about a month earlier, the report stated, but were attempting to co-parent the son they shared. According to that police report, Bausley allegedly punched Jones in the face and pointed a Smith and Wesson 9-millimeter pistol at her, threatening to kill her and himself. According to the report, Jones convinced Bausley not to follow through on the threat and threw the gun out the window, later turning it in at the Grand Crossing (3rd) police district station. Police records list the two October reports as suspended and closed and state that the December report was suspended after a detective was not able to reach Jones by letter or phone. The evening of Feb. 20, Bausley allegedly texted his mother and siblings 'If something happens to me, take care of my son, please.' That night, according to a civil suit filed March 28 against Bausley by Jones' mother, Amy Green, Bausley locked the doors and boarded up the windows to the apartment located at 7144 S. Eberhart Ave. Prosecutors said he then attacked Jones with a knife in front of her two younger sons, including the 4-year-old they shared. Prosecutors allege that Bausley then took Jones' 8-year-old son to pick up her older son from basketball practice and stabbed both children. The older boy was able to get out of the car in Englewood and banged on a neighbor's door for help, prosecutors said. The younger boy, also severely wounded, remained with Bausley until he dropped him off at a gas station on 8200 block of South Damen Avenue early the next day, prosecutors said. A lawyer for Bausley could not immediately be reached. He has entered a plea of not guilty in the case, according to court records, and is being held pending trial. Green's attorney didn't immediately return a request for comment. Bausley is next set to appear in court July 30.
