Jimenez was reportedly crying and nervous, hung up on his sister and wouldn't pick up when she called him back.

Police are now searching for Jimenez, who is wanted on a murder charge.

Estrella Carrera, 26, was found stabbed in her bathtub, wearing a sequined cocktail dress she'd worn on her wedding night.

Jazmin Carrera says Jimenez had hit and bruised her sister in the past.
