Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, the infamous leader of Mexico's Jalisco New Generation Cartel, known as “El Mencho,” was captured and subsequently died on Sunday after he was tracked through surveillance of a romantic partner, Mexican authorities said Monday.
General Ricardo Trevilla, Mexico's Defense Secretary, revealed that the special forces operation, supported by U.S. intelligence, located Oseguera Cervantes “hidden in the undergrowth” in his home state of Jalisco.
