A Bexar County grand jury has handed down a slew of indictments in a tragic case involving the deaths of a pregnant teenager, her boyfriend, and their unborn child. Christopher Preciado, 19, faces multiple charges including capital murder after the December slayings of Savanah Soto and Matthew Guerra, as well as the death of Soto's unborn baby, Fabian. Preciado's parents have also been snagged by the law's grasp, with separate indictments for their alleged roles in aiding their son to conceal the crime.

According to KENS5, Preciado's indictment includes charges of capital murder coinciding with the death of an unborn child, abuse of a corpse, and tampering with a human corpse. To further accelerate, District Attorney Joe Gonzales expressed intent to expedite the cases. "An unborn child is a person under the laws of Texas and could be, should be considered as a person in terms of whether or not to add count," Gonzales stated, emphasizing the severity and breadth of the charges.

In the same ruthless pattern of alleged evidence tampering, Preciado's father, Ramon Preciado, was slapped with charges of abuse of a corpse and altering, destroying, or concealing a corpse, along with Myrta Romanos, Christopher's stepmother. Romanos faces an additional charge of tampering with evidence. The trio lived mere blocks from where Soto and Guerra's bodies were discovered, each shot in the head on Dec. 26, a day after a CLEAR Alert was issued for missing Soto on Christmas.

As detailed by ExpressNews, Christopher Preciado has been charged with capital murder-multiple persons, capital murder child under 10, and capital murder-underlying robbery. The grand jury also indicted him on additional counts of tampering with a human corpse, evidence tampering, and abuse of a corpse. "We commend the members of the local law enforcement community who jointly investigated the case and thank them for their diligence and effort," Gonzales said. "Now, it is our office’s turn to uphold justice for the victims."

Authorities allege a drug deal gone awry led Christopher Preciado to kill the young couple. The involvement of Preciado's parents emerged soon after as they were accused of helping their son dispose of the bodies in a sinister postmortem cover-up attempt. The scheduled court hearing for the Preciado family is slated for April 16, as all parties remain incarcerated – the son without bail, and the parents unable to post bond.
