TEMECULA, CA — A man accused of killing a 30-year-old woman found in an abandoned vehicle in Temecula pleaded not guilty Monday to a murder charge.
Edwin Omar Cordova, 28, of Wildomar is charged in the death of Cynthia Denise Ibarra Cabrera of Murrieta, who was found dead on March 18.
He was arraigned on the murder count, with a sentence-enhancing allegation of using a deadly weapon in the commission of a felony, before Superior Court Judge Judith Clark, who kept the defendant's bail at $1 million.
