After months on the run, a woman who allegedly plotted the death of a romantic rival in Texas has been captured in Mexico.
Brenda Delgado orchestrated the murder-for-hire of a Dallas dentist who was dating her former boyfriend, authorities said.
After her accomplices killed the other woman on September 2, Delgado fled to Mexico, according to authorities.
For months, the FBI said, Delgado allegedly plotted to kill Hatcher.
"She was just waiting for the right opportunity, and the right people to carry it out," the FBI said.
Delgado finally lured two accomplices with promises of money and a steady supply of drugs from her cartel sources, authorities said.
The accomplices allegedly killed Hatcher while she was gathering items from her car in her apartment complex's parking garage.
The FBI had offered up to $100,000 for information leading to her arrest.
Mexico is opposed to the death sentence, and Dallas authorities had pledged to seek life in prison instead.
"We're trying to get her extradited back here," Dallas County District Attorney Susan Hawk said.
"In order for us to do that, one of the conditions was the death penalty had to be off the table. She's still charged with capital murder, which carries a life sentence."
