Ballads associated with Mexico's narcoculture, popularly known as corridos, are signaling a potential leadership transition within the Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) after the killing of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias "El Mencho." Concretely, they are mentioning Audias Flores Silva, known as "El Jardinero," as his successor.
With Oseguera Cervantes killed in a federal operation during the weekend and his son Rubén Oseguera González, "El Menchito," serving a life sentence in the United States, attention has turned to who will lead the cartel, which largely operates under a decentralized structure.
