Man Arrested for Girlfriend's Murder, Despite Assault Plea

0:00On April 20th, a 24-year-old Houston man named Kevin Foe got arrested in Louisiana for the death of his 23-year-old girlfriend, Ashanti Allen, who was eight months pregnant with their child. Cops say he's the father and charged him after linking him to her killing. He's sitting in Jefferson Pairs' jail right now, waiting on extradition back to Harris County, Texas. Just under two months before this went down, Foe had pleaded guilty to assaulting Allen. He started with a heavier family violence charge, but cut a deal for a lesser assault on a family member count, back on February 19th. The judge gave him 280 days in county jail, but he got credit for time already served and walked. Allen vanished around April 8th, got reported missing two days later, and searchers found her body near a Houston Bayou on April 16th. Volunteers pitched in to help track her down during those tough days. Her family is torn up, with her mom saying the whole thing might have been stopped if he'd stayed locked up longer after that assault plea.

This case shines a light on how past violence can turn deadly, and Foe faces serious charges as the investigation pushes forward. That's the story for today.
