Cantrell Ellis wept as he made his first court appearance Tuesday. He is accused of stabbing to death his estranged wife Charlotte last week in a home she had recently moved into in Clovis.

Ellis was given more time to prepare before entering a plea. He has been charged with several crimes including murder.

Meanwhile, KSEE 24 News has learned that a second victim in this case, a 38-year-old man who has not been identified, may have been in a relationship with Charlotte Ellis, and that could have been the motive for the attack.
