Texas: Police Now Have 'Person of Interest' in Killings of Pregnant Teen Savanah Soto and Boyfriend Matthew Guerra
The deaths of pregnant Texas teen Savanah Soto, 18, and her boyfriend, Matthew Guerra, 22, now has two persons of interest after their disappearance sparked a massive search across the state.
Soto was already nine months pregnant and was about to be induced into labor when she and Guera disappeared. This sparked a massive search for the two, only for them to be found dead inside Guerra's car with gunshot wounds around a week later. Soto was found dead while still pregnant with her unborn child. She and Guera have possibly been dead for several days before being found. The baby did not survive.
Now, the San Antonio Police Department has released a video of two persons of interest in the case. San Antonio Police Chief Bill McManus revealed that the video was taken "nearby where the bodies were found."
According to The Daily Mail, the video showed one of the persons of interest driving a dark pickup truck, identified by Chief McManus as a "Chevy Silverado with a bed cover." Meanwhile, the second person of interest was seen in the video driving Guerra's Kia Optima.
The San Antonio police chief did not elaborate on any further details, including where exactly the video was recorded. Still, he did confirm that it was recorded a few days before the bodies were found by authorities and that investigators believed that the victims may have been in the car for several days before police found them.
Earlier, before police released the footage on social media, an autopsy report concluded that the deaths of the two were a result of a homicide. Soto died from a gunshot wound to the head, while Guera died from what the autopsy says is a "contact gunshot wound to the head." This meant that the gun's muzzle was pressed directly against his head before firing and killing him.

The video also showed one of the persons of interest, the one who drove Guera's car, wiping down its side, possibly to scrub evidence. However, Chief McManus said, "We can't be 100% certain of that."
For now, police in Texas have admitted that they do not believe the person seen driving the Optima was Guerra or Soto. They also say that they do not know yet if the two persons of interest have any connections to the victims. However, they do believe that "Guerra and Soto were killed somewhere else and then taken to the location where they were eventually found."
