The head of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera Cervantes, was killed in a Mexican military operation, marking a significant victory for the country in its battle against organized crime. Oseguera, a former police officer, led one of the most powerful and ruthless criminal organizations in Mexico, according to the US Drug Enforcement Agency.

The operation, carried out in Tapalpa, resulted in the death of Oseguera and several other members of the CJNG. The violence following the operation has spread to various states in Mexico, prompting authorities to urge residents to remain indoors and suspend public transportation services.

The US has offered substantial rewards for information leading to Oseguera's arrest, demonstrating the international significance of his death and the impact it may have on drug trafficking operations.
