Ramon Preciado is scheduled to appear before a judge for a status hearing in San Antonio. His trial was delayed at his last court appearance, and the hearing could give a clearer timeline for when he may face the charges against him.
The case involves the December 2023 deaths of Matthew Guerra, Savanah Soto and their unborn son, Fabian. Prosecutors said Christopher Preciado, Ramon's son, shot and killed the couple during an apparent drug deal. Their bodies were found in Guerra's car, which had been abandoned in an apartment parking lot.
A jury found Christopher Preciado guilty of capital murder in March 2026, and he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Ramon Preciado is charged with tampering with evidence and abuse of a human corpse. He is accused of helping move the bodies to conceal evidence.
Police said surveillance video helped them identify the father and son, and both were arrested in January 2024. Investigators also said video showed someone loading a large bag into a vehicle at the Preciado home days before the bodies were found.
