On December 26th, a pregnant teen, named Savannah Soto, and her boyfriend Matthew Guerra were found in a parked car by a San Antonio apartment complex, both with a gunshot wound. In the investigation, police arrested Christopher Preciado and his father Ramon Preciado in connection with the murder. After further investigation, Myrta Romanos was seen in a truck with the two suspects at Savannah Soto’s house. Following this crucial piece of information, he was also arrested on January 10th in connection with the murder.
The first suspect Christopher Preciado was arrested on the suspicion of capital murder in their deaths, altering, destroying, or concealing a corpse, and abuse of a corpse.
The second suspect, Ramon Preciado, was arrested on the charges of abuse of a corpse accused of helping his son move the bodies.
According to Steve Almasy and Sarah Dewberry at CNN, “The department’s forensic unit was able to “develop information” from video that shows Romanos “involved” the night of the killings, according to Ramos. Romanos was seen in the dark-colored truck and returning to her home with the two suspects in the truck that night, Ramos said” (January 10).
Myrta Romanos is currently being held on a $1.1 million bond.
According to Steve Almasy and Sarah Dewberry at CNN, “Christopher Preciado’s attorney Monica Guerrero told CNN on Wednesday she did not have a comment at this time. Ramon Preciado’s attorney John Kuntz told CNN on Wednesday he is no longer representing him. It’s unclear if he has retained different legal representation” (January 10).
It is unclear at this time whether Romanos has an attorney.
