Suspect in fatal Lake Elsinore Walmart stabbing allegedly attacked man in similar manner 4 years agoat a Walmart in Lake Elsinore earlier this week.
Arturo Juarez said the suspect in the Lake Elsinore murder, Lonnie Hinton, attacked him in a strikingly similar manner on November 8, 2020.According to a police report, Lonnie Hinton was confronted by a store employee at Gus Jr.'s restaurant in Perris after apparently stealing money out of a tip jar. That employee struck Hinton, who then left the premises.
Juarez says he was stabbed three times in the back and once on the arm. He said doctors told him that due to the proximity of the stab wounds to several of his organs, he was lucky to be alive.Hinton was arrested that same day and later charged with assault with a deadly weapon, petty theft and robbery. But the assault charge was dropped as part of a plea bargain. He was sentenced to five years in state prison and granted parole earlier this year.
Juarez is now suffering a number of health problems since he was attacked, including high blood pressure, diabetes, anxiety and depression. He said he wants justice in this case, not only for what happened to him but for Jessica Morales, the Walmart employee Hinton is accused of killing in what detectives call a random attack.Hinton is now facing murder charges after the death of Morales. He is currently behind bars, ineligible for bail.
