The tragic deaths of Savanah Soto, Matthew Guerra, and their unborn child, Fabian have led to the indictment of three individuals involved in the case. Christopher Preciado has been charged with an additional count of capital murder for the death of the unborn child. Ramon Preciado and Myrta Romanos are facing charges related to the concealment and desecration of a corpse.
Ramon Preciado, 53, and his 19-year-old son, Christopher, along with Myrta Romanos, 47, are set to appear in court for their trial on May 20, 2024, as District Court 290 has confirmed. According to Fox San Antonio, the suspects are linked to the deaths of Soto and Guerra, who were both found deceased in a gray Kia Optima on December 26. The car was located in the parking lot of the Colinas at Medical Apartments off Danny Kaye Drive.
The case took a pivotal turn when the grand jury decided to recognize Fabian, Soto and Guerra's unborn child, as a separate victim under Texas law which allows murder charges for the death of an unborn child. Gabriel Guerra, Matthew's father, told News 4 San Antonio, "It's an important day for us, it’s the beginning of the legal process and hopefully this is where we get our closure and we get justice for our loved ones."
In remembrance of the young family, Gabriel Guerra emphasized, “It hurts when you hear double homicide or Fabian’s name not mentioned, and he was a person too. He was a victim and it’s only right that he gets his name, his justice and people acknowledge that his life was taken as well,” as he described the onslaught of emotions following the indictment news, as reported by News 4 San Antonio. The Guerra family showcased their support for the indictment using signs bearing Fabian's photo, with Gabriel expressing gratitude for the chance to have seen his grandson, even under such heartbreaking circumstances.
The loss has deeply affected the Guerra family, and, as the trial date approaches, they brace for the emotional challenges ahead. “Good days and bad days. We’re just trying to stay strong for each other and everyone is hurting,” Gabriel said, according to News 4 San Antonio. The trial is expected to not only bring justice but also to shed light on the circumstances surrounding such a devastating sequence of events.
