Matthew Guerra, 22, and his girlfriend Savanah Soto, 18 and nine months pregnant, were found dead on December 26, 2023, inside a gray Kia Optima parked at the Colinas at Medical Apartments on Danny Kaye Drive in San Antonio. Both had suffered gunshot wounds to the head. The couple had been missing since December 22, 2023, when they did not appear for Soto’s scheduled labor induction, and investigators say the killings likely occurred on or about December 21, 2023, with the bodies moved to the vehicle where they were discovered.

Arrest affidavits say 19-year-old Christopher Preciado admitted meeting the couple for a marijuana transaction and claimed Guerra brandished a firearm, prompting the shootings; detectives reported inconsistencies in his account, especially regarding the victims’ wounds. Authorities arrested Preciado and later charged two relatives with offenses related to moving and altering the bodies.

The families have held vigils and continue to seek justice. If anyone has information about Matthew or Savanah around December 21–26, 2023, please come forward.
