🚨 Closing Arguments Set to Begin in Christopher Preciado’s Trial
The trial of Christopher Preciado is now in its final moments. Today, both the prosecution and defense rested their cases, and tomorrow, closing arguments will begin. The evidence has been piling up, leaving little doubt about what really happened.
Dr. Molina, the chief medical examiner who performed the couple’s autopsies, confirmed today that both Matthew Guerra and Savanah Soto died from point-blank gunshot wounds, making it clear that Preciado’s self-defense claim doesn’t hold water. Both victims were shot ex*****on style, a cold-blooded act, not an accident or act of defense.
Preciado claimed that when Matthew arrived to sell him we*d, he was agitated because he had to wait longer than expected for Christopher to come outside. However, video footage tells a different story—Christopher was actually waiting for several minutes for Matthew to arrive, and the messages exchanged leading up to the meeting showed no indication of any violence on the way.
Preciado further claimed that Matthew appeared to be acting strange, possibly under the influence of drugs, which he suggested could have contributed to Matthew's frustration. Eventually, Preciado’s story shifts, stating that Matthew pulled a gun on him in an attempt to rob him, and in the process, Savanah was accidentally shot and killed. After Savanah is shot, Preciado claims that Matthew pointed the gun at him again, and as Christopher pushed the gun away, Matthew was somehow shot in the head.
However, the physical evidence directly contradicts this story. The wounds show that both Matthew and Savanah were shot at point-blank range, a deliberate act of murder—not a reckless accident.
Surveillance footage has revealed shocking details about the attempted cover-up as well. Myrta Romanos and Ramon Preciado were seen coming out of their home immediately after the killings. They watched as Matthew’s car circled the block, with Christopher driving it, and then they followed him to the apartment complex where Matthew and Savanah’s bodies were left. Ramon was caught on camera wiping down the driver’s side door, trying to conceal evidence. This wasn’t just Christopher trying to protect himself; this was a family effort to cover up a murder.
Preciado tried to manipulate the situation by using Matthew’s social media posts to paint a picture of Matthew as a violent and intimidating man. Saying he was afraid of Guerra after seeing him pose with guns. He hoped to make it seem as if he had every right to kill Matthew and Savanah because of the image Matthew portrayed on social media. But that narrative has now completely unraveled.
Preciado reached out to someone earlier in the week before the murders, mentioning that he would soon be coming into money—an indication of premeditation. Shortly after the killings, he messaged the same person again, mentioning two rings, one of which he described as a ‘Versace ring with a large ruby,’ offering them as payment for car parts. Those rings, later confirmed to have belonged to Matthew Guerra, were pawned just days after the murders for only $300.
Preciado’s attempt to profit off of the deaths further highlights his selfish motives.
With closing arguments set for tomorrow, the case against Preciado is stronger than ever. If convicted, Preciado faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.
