Texas woman, Brenda Delgado, recently placed atop the FBI's 10 Most Wanted fugitives list in connection with the grisly killing of her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend, Kendra Hatcher, has been detained in Mexico.

Reports indicate that 33-year-old Brenda Delgado was detained at a home in the city of Torreon, near the northern state of Coahuila. She is now slated to be transported to a Mexican prison where she will remain pending formal extradition.

Delgado faces formal charges of capital murder and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution stemming from the September 2015 killing of Dr. Kendra Hatcher.

Victim Gunned Down in Garage Parking lot

The 35-year-old dentist was gunned down in the parking garage of her apartment complex. Prosecutors have already arrested Delgado's two alleged hired accomplices, including the suspected triggerman.

Reportedly, Delgado boasted to one of the men that she was part of a cartel and could supply him with a endless flow of drugs if he aided her in her sinister plot.

"He thought he had an in with the cartel," Dallas police Detective Lee Thompson said.

Investigators also believe Delgado fled the country soon after Dallas authorities questioned her in connection with the killing. She allegedly was motivated to attack by her raging jealousy over Hatcher dating her ex, and the fact that she had recently been introduced to his parents.

FBI Most Wanted List Established in 1950

Since establishing its Most Wanted list in 1950, the FBI has named more than 500 suspects to list. Delgado is just the ninth female suspect added and the only one currently on the list. In officially adding her to the list, FBI agents described her as a "master manipulator" and offered a reward of $100,000 for information leading to her capture.

Dallas County District Attorney Susan Hawk told reporters that an extradition agreement between Mexico and the U.S. requires that the death penalty not be allowed. Hawk said Delgado faces life in prison, if convicted.
