Editor's note: Jail records initially misspelled Cortes' last name. The error was corrected, but capital murder charges were listed under both spellings over the holiday weekend, totaling $1 million bond. The charge filed under the misspelling will be dropped Tuesday and records will show $500,000 bond, police said.
Dallas police have arrested a 23-year-old woman who, detectives say, has admitted to her involvement in the Wednesday night murder of Dr. Kendra Hatcher.
The suspect, identified in a police statement as Crystal Cortes of Dallas, is charged with capital murder. Her bond was doubled Sunday.
Police said Cortes has provided information that indicated other suspects were involved in the slaying in the secure parking garage of an Uptown Dallas apartment building.

Dallas police have a suspect in custody in connection with the parking lot slaying of a Dallas dentist.
According to a police affidavit, Cortes borrowed a 1996 Jeep Cherokee from a friend. The defendant told detectives that she "conspired with an unnamed individual for $500" to use that vehicle to drive an unknown male suspect to the parking garage at 1700 Cedar Springs Road on Wednesday night with the intention of robbing Hatcher.
Security footage released by police showed a 1996 Jeep Cherokee being driven by a woman in the garage at the time of the homicide.
Police said a witness provided information that led them to Cortes, and that she "voluntarily" went to police headquarters and admitted to her role in the crime.
Police have not released information about any additional suspects being sought in the Kendra Hatcher murder case.
Jorge Cortez, 20, learned Saturday morning that his sister is facing a capital murder charge.
"I broke down in tears, I really broke down in tears, because me knowing my sister, she's not capable of something like that," Cortes said.
Family members said Cortes turned herself in on Friday, and that officers went to her home late Friday night to take her six-year-old son into custody.
"Every moment that he's with them, I think about what's going to happen. Am I going to lose him? Am I going to see him again?" Cortez asked. "I don't know."
