Nemesio Oseguera, widely known as 'El Mencho' and the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), was killed during a military operation in Tapalpa, Mexico. The Mexican military confirmed his death, stating that Oseguera succumbed to his injuries while being transported to a hospital in Mexico City. His demise represents a significant blow to one of Mexico's most notorious criminal organizations, as he was listed by the U.S. State Department among the most wanted criminals in the country.

The raid that led to Oseguera's death was reportedly carried out with intelligence assistance from U.S. authorities, highlighting the ongoing collaboration between American and Mexican law enforcement agencies in combating drug trafficking. Alongside Oseguera, six cartel members were killed during the confrontations, and three soldiers sustained injuries. Additionally, two cartel associates were apprehended, and a significant cache of weapons was seized, indicating the scale of the operation.

Oseguera's leadership of the CJNG has seen the cartel's influence extend both within Mexico and into the United States, leading to increased violence and crime as they vie for control of drug trafficking routes. His death may create a power vacuum within the cartel, potentially triggering further violence as factions vie for control, reflecting the challenges that remain in addressing organized crime and drug-related violence in Mexico.
