Appearing in court Wednesday is the woman accused of killing beloved Chef Ray Ingram.

Michaele Bowers has already pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder.

This comes after police say she shot Ingram in their Southwest Bakersfield home back in February.

Court documents also show a possible motive being that Bowers was angry with Ingram after she suspected him of giving a valentine’s day gift to another woman.

She is expected to be in court at 9 a.m.
