Brenda Delgado, the woman added this week to the FBI's list of "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives" for her role in the murder of a Dallas dentist, has been arrested in Mexico, authorities say.
Delgado, 33, was captured Friday in the city of Torreon, in north-central Mexico, according to the office of the Mexico attorney general.[[375109911,R]]
The FBI confirmed the arrest late Friday, saying Delgado was arrested without incident by agents of Mexico's Criminal Investigations Agency.
Delgado will be transferred to Mexico City, where she will be detained pending proceedings for extradition to North Texas.
She was indicted for capital murder last fall in the death of Dr. Kendra Hatcher, a 35-year-old dentist found dead in the parking garage of her apartment complex on Sept. 2.
A reward of up to $100,000 was being offered for any information leading directly to Delgado's arrest.
Investigators believe Delgado, who allegedly dated Hatcher's boyfriend, planned Hatcher's murder and hired people to carry it out. Crystal Cortes and Kristopher Love are in prison for their involvement in Hatcher's murder.

The latest news from around North Texas.
"It is believed she was jealous because the victim was dating Delgado's ex-boyfriend and had recently been introduced to his parents," the FBI wrote on its wanted poster for Delgado.
"The FBI is extremely appreciative of our law enforcement partners in Mexico, as well as our local, state and federal partners, for their tremendous cooperation and collaboration in the capture of Top Ten Fugitive Brenda Delgado," said Thomas M. Class Sr., Special Agent in Charge of the FBI's Dallas Field Office, in a statement Friday.
Delgado, born Brenda Berenice Delgado Reynaga, is the second North Texan on the FBI's "Most Wanted" list. Yaser Abdel Said of Irving has been on the run since 2008, after being accused of murdering his two teenage daughters. He was added to the list in 2014.
