Man released from prison this year arrested for murder in Lake Elsinore

A 29-year-old man is behind bars after being arrested for murder. The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office reports that Lake Elsinore Sheriff’s Station deputies responded to a business in the 29000 block of Central Avenue in Lake Elsinore for an assault with a deadly weapon.

At the scene, deputies found a female employee, 65-year-old Jessica Morales, suffering from multiple stab wounds. The victim was pronounced deceased at the scene. Authorities say the suspect turned himself in at the Sheriff’s Station at a later time.

The suspect was identified as 29-year-old Lonnie Hinton who has been charged with Murder. Investigators say Hinton was released from state prison earlier this year for a robbery. He was on active parole at the time of the murder.

Authorities believe the event is random and there was no interaction between the suspect and victim before the assault.
