Show Caption Hide Caption Arrest made in murder-for-hire of Texas dentist Dallas police announced they have arrested the man suspected of fatally shooting Dr. Kendra Hatcher in the garage of her Uptown apartment complex last month. They also have issued an arrest warrant for the woman suspected of planning the crime.

Police arrested a man for fatally shooting a popular Texas dentist and are searching for the woman suspected of paying him to carry out the murder, authorities said Friday.

Kristopher Love, 31, was arrested and charged with capital murder in the Sept. 2 death of Kendra Hatcher, Dallas police spokesman Max Geron said. When Love was arrested, he had the suspected murder weapon in his possession, police told reporters on Friday. Love, a former felon, was also charged with unlawful possession of a firearm.

A capital murder arrest warrant has also been issued for Brenda Delgado, 33, a woman who used to date Hatch er's boyfriend. Police said Delgado was involved in the planning and the commission of the murder.



Delgado dated Hatcher's boyfriend for two years, before the relationship ended in 2015.

According to the arrest warrant affidavit, Love admitted his role in the Sept. 2 slaying of Kendra Hatcher. He is being held on $2.5 million bond.

Maj. Geron encouraged Delgado to turn herself into authorities and said she is a fugitive at this time.

Hatcher was murdered in the parking lot of her apartment complex last month.

Delgado was questioned by police in early September as authorities investigated the case, but she was released.

She was mentioned numerous times in search warrants related to the case obtained after the arrest of Crystal Cortes, who police believe drove the alleged shooter to the Gables apartment complex.

Cortes remains in jail at this time, also charged with capital murder.
