Brenda Delgado, the only woman on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, has been captured in Mexico seven months after allegedly orchestrating the murder of a romantic rival.
According to CNN, Delgado, 33, hired two co-conspirators to shoot 35-year-old dentist Kendra Hatcher at her apartment complex parking garage in Dallas on Sept. 2. Hatcher had recently begun a relationship with Delgado’s former boyfriend.

“Although she didn’t pull the trigger herself, she is still responsible for the murder,” said Thomas Class Sr. of the FBI’s Dallas division.
