The Mexican army Sunday killed the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, “El Mencho.” That effectively decapitated what had become Mexico’s most powerful cartel.
Vehicles were burned in various states and federal troops stood guard outside the General Prosecutor’s headquarters in Mexico City.
