Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, widely known as "El Mencho" and the formidable leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), has been killed during a Mexican military operation, a federal official has confirmed.
The operation, which took place on Sunday in the western state of Jalisco, was preceded by hours of widespread roadblocks involving burning vehicles – a common tactic employed by cartels to impede military movements.
