SAN ANTONIO — A jury was shown graphic evidence and listened to emotional testimony on day one of the Christopher Preciado trial. Preciado is accused of killing Savanah Soto, her boyfriend Matthew Guerra and their unborn son in December 2023.
Police noted the killings stemmed from a drug deal and described their deaths as an execution. During opening statements, prosecutor Melissa Alban told jurors they would hear evidence showing that, despite any poor decisions made by the victims, they did not deserve to die.
“You’re going to hear that they made choices that many of us would not make. But the penalty for those poor choices should not be execution and the evidence is going to prove to you that on Dec. 21 of 2023 that is exactly what Christopher Preciado did to them and their unborn baby. He executed them,” Alban said…
