Repeat offender released early from jail now charged with capital murder of pregnant woman

Kevin Faux, a 24-year-old repeat offender with a history of assault charges, was arrested for the capital murder of 23-year-old Ashanti Allen, who was eight months pregnant when she disappeared. Faux, the father of her unborn child, was released early from jail in February 2025 due to a 'two-for-one' credit that halved his 280-day sentence.
