After receiving an anonymous tip from the area, the U.S. Marshals Service New Orleans Task Force raided an apartment complex in Gretna (Jefferson Parish), Louisiana. Faux was arrested without incident and booked into the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center to await formal extradition back to Harris County, Texas. Prosecutors filed a motion to hold him entirely without bail upon his return.

The Houston Police Department publicly announced that Kevin Faux was officially charged with murder in the 228th Criminal District Court. Because he remained at large, a absolute felony arrest warrant was broadcast. Charges were later upgraded to Capital Murder to include the death of the unborn child.

Assisted by volunteers from Texas EquuSearch, Houston Police homicide detectives located Allen's body hidden near a bayou at 11655 Chimney Rock Road, near Chimney Rock Park. She was found with a cord wrapped twice around her neck and tied in a knot. Nearby business surveillance captured video of a man matching Faux's description dragging a body to that exact spot.

A City of Houston employee discovered Ashanti Allen's discarded cellphone at Edgewood Park. Police forensic teams analyzed the phone's historical location data, which ultimately pointed them toward a specific location near Chimney Rock Road.

Faux arrived at the woman's residence in Gretna, Louisiana. He explicitly mentioned to her that he was currently involved in a missing persons investigation in Houston regarding his "baby's mama" and strictly instructed her not to look up his name or the case online.

Following the discovery of her abandoned vehicle and her emptied purse, Ashanti Allen was officially reported missing to the Houston Police Department.

Becoming deeply concerned, Allen's brother digitally tracked her phone's location, which pinged at a residence belonging to Faux’s mother. While the brother was at the home, Faux's mother called Faux on speakerphone; Faux denied having seen Allen or being in contact with her. Local doorbell camera footage later showed Faux arriving and leaving his mother's house multiple times that morning, unloading a backpack and a large container. Allen's vehicle was discovered abandoned nearby. Local doorbell camera footage later showed Faux arriving and leaving his mother's house multiple times that morning, unloading a backpack and a large container. Allen's vehicle was discovered abandoned nearby.

A text message was sent from Ashanti Allen's phone to her mother, reading: “I'm leaving I'm not coming back.” Family members immediately recognized the message as highly suspicious and entirely out of character for Allen, who was eight months pregnant.

Forensic extraction of Faux's phone later revealed outgoing text messages sent at this time. In the messages, Faux wrote that he “had to fight for my life” and stated, “Imma felon then I killed a b*** .”

Faux placed a FaceTime video call to a female friend. According to the witness statement in the probable cause affidavit, Faux appeared sweaty and frantic in a heavily wooded area. He allegedly stated that he "killed a motherf-----r" and turned the camera to display a lifeless body on the ground wearing dark clothing.

Security surveillance footage from Ashanti Allen's apartment complex captured her and Faux walking together toward her vehicle. Minutes later, automated license plate readers flagged her car traveling along the South Loop West service road. Investigators state Faux was the last person seen entering her apartment.
