Guerra’s father and stepmother described how the couple eagerly awaited the arrival of baby Fabián.
“We still can’t believe we’ll never meet him,” Guerra’s stepmother, Raquel Guerra, told Fox San Antonio.
Meanwhile, his father, Gabriel, pointed out the gifts under a Christmas tree.

Soto’s brother, Jordan Corona, told CBS News that police told him that both the pregnant teen and her boyfriend were shot in the back of the head.
Soto had been in the front passenger seat with a baby carrier on her lap and her boyfriend in the back, sources familiar with the investigation told News 4 San Antonio.
Police did not find a firearm or Guerra’s cellphone inside the Kia sedan where the couple was found Tuesday.
Guerra’s family described their efforts to try to locate the missing couple on Saturday, the day Soto was expected to be inducted.
“Once it was like 2:30 p.m., we started panicking,” Gabriel told the outlet. “I started calling. “I call, I run home, I run there, I call the police.”

She said she ran to her son’s apartment, where she kicked in the door and found a lit candle and the bag of diapers Soto planned to take to the appointment.
“That’s when I saw Savanah’s overnight bag for the hospital that she hadn’t taken and that made me even more panicked,” Gabriel told Fox San Antonio.
She said she asked Leon Valley police if authorities could request her son’s location data, but was told by a detective that a judge was unlikely to grant the request because the situation lacked exigent circumstances.
“(The detective) basically said, ‘They’re adults and if they want to disappear, they can disappear,’” she told News 4. “And, again, I reminded them that the baby was overdue, it was already overdue; You missed the expiration date.

“And to me, that’s a threat to my life… I mean, there should have been more urgency,” he added.
The detective told the outlet that the police chief had directed him to direct his questions to the San Antonio Police Department, which did not immediately respond to the Post’s request for comment.
“I just hope that we can get to the bottom of this,” Raquel told News 4. “And that justice is served, because I can’t understand how someone could do that to a pregnant woman. “I just can’t get that out of my head.”
Gabriel said he knows that Guerra was arrested in 2022 for domestic abuse against Savanah, and even suggested that the boyfriend remain in custody longer.
“They had contacted each other on the phone and that was rape, so they can keep him there and unfortunately it would have to be Savanah who said that, and she wouldn’t do it, so they let him out.” she told the outlet, adding that domestic abuse charges were never filed again.
Guerra was reportedly on probation for assaulting Soto on Christmas Day last year.
Gabriel said his son had a criminal record that included illegal carrying of a weapon, evading police and a charge of assault causing bodily injury.

In June, a judge granted Guerra probation in the family violence case and allowed him to have contact with Soto as long as it was not “harmful or disruptive,” according to court documents cited by News 4.
Probation was set to expire in June 2024, but a judge extended it until February 2025 after Guerra faced additional unrelated charges, including unlawful carrying of a weapon, evading arrest in a vehicle and reckless driving, according to the newspaper.
“He didn’t hang out with the best people,” Gabriel said, but added that he believed the young man would change when he himself became a father.

“He talked about how it would make him better, a better person,” Gabriel told KENS5.
Meanwhile, Soto’s mother, Gloria Córdova, also said she is seeking answers about the mysterious deaths.
“Why was she in front and he was in the back? Obviously, that means someone else was there,” she asked, adding that he suspects Guerra was involved in illegal activities, according to the outlet.
“I think it had something to do with him and the things he was doing, not my daughter,” Cordova told CBS News.
“My daughter was just there with him and they didn’t want… they didn’t want someone to say what happened, someone to say that he’s so-and-so or that’s what he looked like. She just happened to be there at the wrong time,” she added.
“He used to abuse her and I told him to end the relationship, but she… was stubborn and didn’t listen. But I think this time she was going to leave him. That’s what I’m hearing,” Córdova told the outlet.
“They took an innocent girl who was going to be a mother, they just took her life for nothing,” Córdova told KENS5.
