Saturday, April 18, 2026 12:45AMCharges have been filed against a suspect wanted in the death of a missing pregnant woman, who was found in southwest Houston, the Houston Police Department said.Sources told ABC13 that the woman's remains are believed to be those of Ashanti Allen, who was eight months pregnant and was last seen on April 8 in the 8700 block of Main Street.
Investigators learned that Faux is the father of the victim's unborn child. "She was very caring, she tries to see the best in everyone, and by her doing that, it cost her her life," Trisa Gaines Colbert, Allen's mother, said."Also, when she missed her appointment on Tuesday the 14th - I already knew she was gone, a mother knows," Gaines Colbert said. She also said she was not shocked when investigators released Faux as a suspect in her daughter's death. "I knew all along that he did something to my child," Colbert said. "Oh no, oh no, I was not, but unfortunately, my daughter did not let me know what she was going through." According to court records, Faux spent time behind bars for assaulting Ashanti on at least three different occasions last September, grabbing her by her neck, pinning her down, and slapping her. Records show he was sentenced in February to 250 days, given credit for some time served, and released early."I'm going to say it all over the nation, if something is going on with your relationship please let your momma, your daddy, your daddy, your sister, your brother know because if we had any grip or any indication that something was going bad, we could've fixed it and she would still be here right now," Allen's father, Edward Allen, said."I just want you to know that I always love you and I'm going to remember you, till the day I die. I love you so much, sister, I love you," her older sister, Marché Peevy, said. "We were there for you. I just wish you knew that. And you were comfortable to tell us anything that was going on so that this wouldn't be the outcome, we love you and we miss you and we will never let your name die," her older brother, Xavier Gaines, said."Turn yourself in," Edward Allen said. Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Kevin Faux, or in this case, is urged to contact HPD Homicide at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
