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.
Call me crazy, but I’m not sure a woman who’s been scheduled to have her pregnancy induced would be looking for drugs, especially when she’s about to get that epidural good stuff. I mean sure, maybe the dude wanted to get high, maybe it’s an older drug debt, but maybe I’m being naive, but this just sounds like the usual police BS and there’s a real reason that they don’t want to press release.
Edit: Found another article that has this tidbit about their “police work”:

So helping move a body only indicates drug related crimes? That’s weird, cause Paul Flores’s father hid and moved Kristin Smart’s body all over his property for two decades, some parents will do anything to protect their child, and that includes horrible things.
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.
You’ve clearly never spent any significant amount of time with drug addicts if you think every woman would stop using drugs because they’re pregnant/about to deliver.
CPS in Texas immediately takes babies away if the moms test positive for drugs (hospitals are mandatory reporters for it), and it happens a ton.
Source: My wife used to do drug counseling intakes, and a large portion of those were CPS cases where the baby was taken away at birth, and she has several friends who work in L&D who corroborate it.
OP says he thinks she wouldn’t be looking for drugs because the hospital was about to fill her with painkillers anyway, not because she was pregnant
