Man charged with murder of Walmart saleswoman

A parolee accused of stabbing a 65-year-old clerk to death at a Lake Elsinore Walmart pleaded not guilty Friday to first-degree murder and other charges.

Lonnie Will Hinton III of Wildomar was arrested last week after allegedly killing Jessica Morales of Menifee.

In addition to murder, Hinton is also charged with lying in wait as a special circumstance, use of a deadly weapon in the commission of a felony and probation violations.
