A woman suspected of plotting to have her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend killed has been extradited to the US after fleeing to Mexico.

Brenda Delgado, 34, has been charged with the murder of Kendra Hatcher - who was shot dead by Kristopher Love in a Dallas garage on September 2, 2015, police say.

Delgado, who is both a US and Mexican citizen, is accused of hiring Love to commit the deadly act because she was jealous her former partner had started dating Hatcher.

Police also say the 34-year-old also convinced another friend, Chrystal Cortes, to drive the getaway car.

The Dallas Morning News revealed Delgado, who was arrested by Mexican authorities in April, is due to arrive back in the US on Thursday evening.

The newspaper reports the 34-year-old will likely be escorted by marshals on the flight, before she is taken straight to the Dallas County Jail. 

Delgado went on the run by fleeing the country before police had a chance to follow up initial interviews with her after the death of Hatcher.

She is unlikely to face the death penalty as a condition of her extradition, because Mexico is opposed to capital punishment.
