Body of Missing Pregnant Woman Found at Park in Southwest Houston

Police and EquuSearch searched for a 23-year-old woman who was eight months pregnant before her body was found, family said.

  • On Thursday, the Houston Police Department discovered the body of 23-year-old Ashanti Allen at Chimney Rock Park and charged 24-year-old Kevin Faux with her murder, alleging he is the father of her unborn child.
  • Allen, who was eight months pregnant, was last seen April 8 near Main Street; her family reported her missing after receiving a strange text message, prompting a search by Texas EquuSearch and police crews.
  • Investigators located the body using data from Allen's cellphone, which pinged near Chimney Rock Park before discovery at Edgewood Park, where her family confirmed the identity at the scene.
  • Court records reveal Allen was a victim in a family violence case a few months ago, while authorities continue searching for Faux and urge anyone with information to contact HPD Homicide at 713-308-3600.
  • EquuSearch founder Tim Miller stated during the search that he did not believe Allen left on her own, as crews actively searched for her throughout the investigation.
