A joint operation involving U.S. and Mexican forces in the town of Tapalpa, Jalisco, ended with the capture and killing of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, also known as "El Mencho," the leader of the Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG).
After news of the operation broke, several areas of Jalisco descended into chaos as alleged members of the Jalisco cartel set fire to businesses, blocked highways and caused damage in apparent retaliation for the death of their leader.
