Bombshell Dropped in Pregnant Texas Teen’s Murder Case
Charges Dropped Against Myrta Romanos in San Antonio Triple Homicide Cover-Up
Discover the procedural twist that freed Myrta Romanos after two years in jail and learn why this dismissal is not a declaration of innocence but a critical moment for the prosecution strategy in the highly charged Soto/Guerra murder case.
Short Summary
- Charges against Myrta Romanos, accused of aiding in the disposal of Savanah Soto, Matthew Guerra, and their unborn baby, were dismissed without prejudice.
- The dismissal occurred because the judge denied the state’s request to postpone the trial amid a major crime lab evidence backlog.
- Romanos is now free, but prosecutors retain the explicit right to refile the charges against her at any point within the applicable statute of limitations.
- Christopher Preciado, the alleged shooter, remains charged and is slated for trial next year, claiming self-defense.
This segment details the immediate outcome of Myrta Romanos’s scheduled trial date: charges were dismissed after the judge refused to grant a continuance requested by the prosecution. Legal analyst Anthony Aso explains the judiciary’s move to enforce speedy trial rights versus the challenges posed by slow forensic analysis in major metropolitan labs. This outcome means Romanos walks free, but the central murder investigation is far from over.

Texas is getting crazier by the day.
Yes they can refile. It's probably what they intend on doing soon as they get the evidence back from the crime lab.
I always wondered what happened to this case!!! Thank you for the update.
4:03 you forgot to mention something very important. The truck driver talked then got a towel from a passenger in truck, wiped the car before parking it.
BS!!! I’m from Texas and this angers me! I prayed for this Mom & baby. This female needs to be behind bars!!!!
The mom needs to agree to testify against her husband and son! Take the deal lady😊

That judge had no right to let her go ...she was there and had a hand into killing that unborn baby his mom and dad ....where is full justice ?? Pray the victims get full justice!!!
This is why people hate our “justice system” and despise judges. Absolutely disgusting.
Wow .😮 These judges are ridiculous
