SAN DIEGO — A former Camp Pendleton Marine serving a life sentence in Mississippi for murder pleaded not guilty Monday to killing a masseuse in a downtown San Diego massage parlor in 1975.

According to court documents, San Diego police were called to the Twilight Massage Parlor on Fifth Avenue in the Gaslamp District after someone called to say the 27-year-old Borrayo had been beaten and knocked out by a patron.
A woman who worked at the massage parlor told police that two patrons came in the night of the murder, and that she helped one of the men and Borrayo helped the other man, who gave the name “Leon,” according to court documents.
