Entire family disappears in Puerto Vallarta on the same day of operation against 'El Mencho'

A complete family went missing in Puerto Vallarta on February 22, coinciding with a major police operation against the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.

On February 22, a family consisting of four members disappeared in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, coinciding with the activation of a "code red" after a police operation aimed at capturing Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as ‘El Mencho’ and the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). This operation ended with the reported death of ‘El Mencho’, escalating tensions in the area and raising fears for public safety.

Two days later, the Jalisco Commission for the Search of Persons released information on social media to locate the missing individuals. The family has been identified as Donají Concepción Campos Cavazos (30 years old), Concepción Donají Cavazos Corona (58 years old), Sergio Eduardo Campos Marín (62 years old), and Sergio Eduardo Campos Cavazos (25 years old). Their disappearance has drawn media attention and concern from local communities, as they were last seen just hours after a significant governmental operation.

This incident highlights the ongoing violence and turmoil in regions affected by cartel activity in Mexico, particularly in Jalisco. The situation raises critical questions about the safety of citizens during law enforcement operations and the broader impacts of cartel violence on local populations. With the family missing and the local authorities mobilizing search efforts, this case has underscored the urgent need for effective strategies to ensure public safety and accountability in regions plagued by organized crime.
