Welcome to the club. 

A Wisconsin woman who gunned down her mother’s pregnant neighbor became the 10th woman ever to be added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List on Tuesday. 

Shanika S. Minor — who uses the alias Ida Jackson — is one of 509 fugitives that have been on the list since its inception in 1950, and one of only 10 women. 

Meet the 10 ladies on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list: 

Shanika S. Minor: The 24-year-old is accused of shooting her mother's nine-months-pregnant neighbor a week after Minor confronted the woman with a complaint about loud music. She has no previous criminal record. Minor first challenged the woman to a fight the night of March 5 with a semi-automatic gun in hand. She fired several shots into the air and left the scene at her mother's request. Hours later, Minor entered the woman's home and fired a round at the woman's chest. 

 

Brenda Delgado:  Delgado allegedly hired a hitman to kill a popular Dallas pediatric dentist, who was dating Delgado's ex-boyfriend. According to Dallas Police, Kendra Hatcher was shot in the parking garage of her Uptown apartment building. Delgado, was arrested in Mexico in April after being placed on the FBI's most wanted list.
