Murder suspect Brenda Delgado, who authorities say fled to Mexico after she masterminded the slaying of a Dallas dentist, was extradited back to the U.S. on Thursday night.

Delgado was flown to Dallas and booked into the Dallas County Jail. She faces a capital murder charge in the death of pediatric dentist Kendra Hatcher.

Bail has been set at $1 million.

Members of the Dallas FBI's Violent Crimes Task Force escorted Delgado from Mexico City, where she was being held by Mexican authorities.

She arrived at the jail about 7:20 p.m.

Delgado is accused of hiring a gunman and getaway driver to kill 35-year-old Hatcher, who was dating her ex-boyfriend. Hatcher was shot to death in her Uptown parking garage on Sept. 2, 2015.

Delgado initially told police she lent the alleged getaway driver, Crystal Cortes, a Jeep Cherokee that belonged to a friend. Delgado left the country before police could do follow-up interviews.

U.S. officials were planning to arrest Delgado in April as part of a secret plan for her to walk across a Laredo bridge and turn herself in, but Mexican authorities detained her before they could, The Dallas Morning News reported in an exclusive story.

U.S. and Texas officials have said she won't face the death penalty because Mexico is opposed to capital punishment, which is a typical condition of extradition.

Delgado, a Mexican citizen who lived in Pleasant Grove, was detained in the northern city of Torreon, Coahuila.
