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.

    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
