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.

    Her 15 year old brother was shot dead less than two years ago over a “money dispute” (i.e. drugs). Call me crazy, but something tells me this family isn’t just a misunderstood, wholesome group that the cops are targeting.

      Oh pls, why would you think I’m trying to paint the family as “wholesome”? My point is more about police ineptitude or that there’s more to this story than just “drugs”.
