Christopher Allen is now linked to a long-cold San Antonio murder after DNA from a 2018 crime scene matched his profile. Tammy Fudge, 46, was found dead in a downtown parking lot near West Travis Street and North Flores Street on March 4, 2018, with blunt force trauma to the head and a trail of blood indicating a violent encounter. Initial inquiries produced no viable suspect and the investigation went cold.

In 2024 the San Antonio Police Department reopened the file, resubmitted old fingerprint samples and reexamined DNA evidence. A match to Christopher Allen—who was serving time in a federal detention center in Miami for an unrelated offense—was confirmed in September 2024 through a database comparison, leading to an arrest warrant for Allen in the Fudge killing. Few details remain public about how the evidence tied to Allen was collected at the scene.

If anyone knew Tammy Fudge, saw her in downtown San Antonio in early March 2018, or has information about that area and time, please come forward to assist investigators.
