A fugitive in Indiana was recently arrested in Ohio.
The FBI Indianapolis Field Office stated Gacien Baptiste, 34, was wanted for stabbing a man who was dating his children’s mother. He had fled Indiana and was just apprehended in Lima, Ohio.
On May 25, witnesses in Indianapolis reported seeing Baptiste come out of his Toyota Corolla with a knife and attack his ex-partner’s new lover in the shoulder. Baptiste is also accused of forcing the victim into his car before driving away.
The woman was able to flee the vehicle and return to the scene of the stabbing after receiving a ride from a friend. She informed police that she and Baptiste had two children together, but she was no longer with him.
In June, Baptiste was charged with battery with a deadly weapon and criminal confinement, both Level 5 crimes. On June 12, a warrant for his arrest was issued.
According to the FBI, Baptiste is also illegally present in the United States.
