Texas police are searching for persons of interest after officials confirmed pregnant Texas teenager Savanah Soto and her boyfriend Matthew Guerra both died from gunshot wounds to their heads.
The revelations came after the bodies of Soto, 18, and Guerra, 22, were found Tuesday in a parking lot outside a Northwest Side apartment complex in San Antonio.
Their unborn child was also declared dead.
“Soto’s death [has been ruled] homicide due to gunshot wound to the head,” a spokesman for the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office told The Post.
The coroner also listed Guerra’s cause of death as “a gunshot wound to the head” but has yet to determine whether it was suicide or homicide, the spokesman added.
“Guerra is still an unfinished business,” he said.
No firearms or mobile phones were found at the scene where police found the couple’s bullet-riddled bodies.
The San Antonio Police Department released surveillance footage Thursday showing two persons of interest near where the couple’s bodies were found.
The video shows a suspect driving the victim’s silver Kia Optima stopped in a parking lot with its lights off into a dark-colored pickup truck, driven by another suspect.

A large man wearing a tank top got out of the truck and opened the driver’s side door of the Kia and appeared to exchange words with the driver, who stood up at one point.
After a brief exchange, the two drive in opposite directions, the video shows.
Soto disappeared on Friday, the day before she was scheduled to be induced and give birth to their baby, who they have named Fabian.
Her body was found in a car with Guerra the next day after concerned family members reported her missing to police because she didn’t show up for her appointment at Stone Oak Methodist Hospital.

Gloria Cordova, Soto’s mother, told KENS5 that Soto was found in the front seat with a car seat on top of him, and Guerra was lying in the back seat.
“I hope they pay for whatever they did to my daughter,” he told the TV station, adding that he believed Guerra was involved in criminal activity.
“He used to abuse her and I told him to get out of the relationship, but he — he was stubborn, he didn’t want to listen. But I think this time he will leave it already. That’s what I heard.
“They took an innocent girl, an innocent girl who was going to be a mother, they just took her life for free.”

Guerra is reportedly on probation for assaulting Soto on Christmas Day last year.
In June, a judge granted Guerra probation for a domestic violence case and allowed him to have contact with Soto as long as it was not “harmful or injurious,” according to court documents.
The trial was set to end in June 2024, but a judge extended it to February 2025 after Guerra received additional unrelated charges including unlawful carrying of a weapon, evading arrest in a vehicle and reckless driving, according to the newspaper.

Guerra’s father, Gabriel, said he was aware his son had a criminal history including illegal possession of a weapon, evading police, and charges of assault causing bodily harm.
But, in an interview with KENS5, he insisted his son was not responsible for the couple’s death.
“He talked about how [becoming a dad] will make him better, a better person,” Gabriel said.
Guerra’s mother, Karen Hernandez, also defended her son in a post on Facebook after news of his death became public.
“I have always been a good mother to my baby 1703810828 I’m heartbroken [sic] and No one will ever take away the love that I carry in my heart and soul for my pride and joy!!!!” he wrote.
