Police arrested and charged a father and son early Thursday in connection with the murder of a pregnant teenager who was about to give birth, and her boyfriend, in San Antonio last month.

Christopher Preciado, 19, was charged with capital murder while his father, 53-year-old Ramon Preciado, was charged with abuse of a corpse for allegedly helping to move the bodies of Savanah Soto, 18, and Matthew Guerra, 22, who were found shot dead in a car.

A conviction for capital murder is punishable by the death penalty or life imprisonment.

San Antonio Police Department confirmed the charges in a statement and said more charges are pending, possibly relating to the death of the unborn child.

    I definitely get what you’re saying, I’ve been there as well, just not with my wife or gf, I’d never risk my SO like that, if anyone is going to jail over a drug deal gone wrong it should be me who has the habit. My old roommate used to come with me once in a while when i picked up from my weed plug, he was a very heavy church going Jamaican fella, so i would buy the stuff while he would go inside the store we were meeting near to shop, then he would come out and sarcastically ask “did you have a nice time with your drug deal?” Which of course would crack me up because he literally sounded like Grim from Grim Adventurs of Billy and Mandy when he said it.

    But I digress, when someone is due for being induced they are usually in a tremendous amount of pregnancy related pain already, so maybe she wanted some help with the pain, or maybe he was nervous about being an expectant father, so i can see why they would buy drugs, but I don’t see why they would be murdered over “drugs” at the end of the day a dealer is a salesman, so why would they want to kill off clientele? I know it happens all of the time but it’s bad business, because a dead person isn’t paying up any debts owed.

    This is just one of those crimes that doesn’t make any sense to me, and the word of police is worthless, the real reason is probably something far more human, like jealousy or some kind of love triangle that was about to end once the baby was had. Drugs is just such an easy and self-serving thing for the cops to blame it on.

      To make an example of them so other people that owe money hear about it and pay up. Or just because you’re a psycho and killing people who “wrong” you makes you feel good.
