Prosecutors say Beckley was involved in the large-scale distribution of methamphetamine in the Springfield area. She recruited several people to kill Martinez-Gaxiola, who came to the area to collect a $40,000 drug debt Beckley owed.
Martinez-Gaxiola was killed after being lured to rural Webster County, where he believed he was going to collect the debt.
Four other people have pleaded guilty in federal court to their roles in the case.
