🌅 December 26 was supposed to mark the beginning of something beautiful. Instead, it became the date forever etched in heartbreak. Two years ago, 18-year-old Savanah Nicole Soto and 22-year-old Matthew Guerra were found shot to death inside a car in San Antonio. Savanah was nine months pregnant. Within days, they were expecting to welcome their baby into the world.

💔 What should have been a season of anticipation — nursery plans, hospital bags, whispered conversations about the future — ended in unimaginable violence. Three lives were taken before one even had the chance to begin.

🚨 Investigators later revealed the couple had been killed during what authorities described as a drug deal gone wrong. Nineteen-year-old Christopher Preciado was arrested and charged with capital murder. In a shocking turn, his father, Ramon Preciado, and stepmother, Myrta Preciado, were also arrested, accused of helping tamper with evidence in an attempt to conceal the crime.

⚖️ The legal process has moved slowly, prolonging the agony for two grieving families. After delays and procedural motions, Christopher Preciado’s trial is now scheduled for February 2026. Meanwhile, Savanah and Matthew’s loved ones have filed a civil lawsuit, determined to pursue justice in every possible courtroom.

👶 Savanah was just days away from becoming a mother. Friends describe her as excited, glowing, ready to embrace the next chapter of her life. Matthew was preparing to step fully into fatherhood, building dreams around the child they were about to meet. Their plans were simple, hopeful, and painfully ordinary — the kind of future so many young families imagine.

🕊️ Two years later, the grief has not softened. Birthdays pass. Holidays return. Each milestone is a reminder of what was taken — not just two young lives, but a baby who never had the chance to take a first breath.

🌹 Their families continue to speak their names: Savanah. Matthew. A son who should have been here. They refuse to let them be remembered only for the violence that ended their lives, but for the love they shared and the future they were building.

⏳ As February 2026 approaches, the wait for accountability continues. Justice, though delayed, is still being pursued.

✨ Three lives were lost that winter day. And two years later, the promise of closure remains just ahead — as families hold onto hope that truth, and justice, will finally arrive.
