Police say she took the suspected shooter, who has not been identified, to the area of the shooting minutes before it happened.
Omar Javarty Hakim, 39, was killed in the shooting on Moody Avenue.
Masi is charged with criminal conspiracy to commit homicide.
New Castle Police Chief Dave Cumo says Masi is Hakim’s girlfriend and calls the crime personal.
“It was very intentional. It was all six shots fired in close range. He was definitely the intended target. This was not a random attack,” Cumo said.
Witnesses told police they saw Hakim sitting in his jeep outside Masi’s home when a man with a red puffy jacket and a black hoodie over his head pulled up in a gray Nissan SUV, grab a gun from the car, walk up to the driver side window and fire six shots, then run off.
A witness said the Nissan looked like it belonged to Hakim’s girlfriend, Angelina Masi. When police questioned her, she wouldn’t cooperate.
“Through subsequent interviews and videos, we see her at a business location a couple blocks away. Before the shooting see an unknown male actor with a black hoodie and puffy red coat get into her vehicle minutes before the shooting,” Cumo said.
The chief said they also have surveillance video of Masi driving her car away from the scene after the shooting.
Right now, police are still trying to identify the shooter and working to find out the motive.
Anyone with information on the investigation is asked to call dispatch at 724-656-9300 or detectives at 724-510-0125.
