Mexican drug lord Nemesio Oseguera, also known as El Mencho, was killed in a military operation, Mexican news outlets reported, citing government sources. Major chaos broke out at Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta airports, after El Mencho's cartel reportedly retaliated after Oseguera's killing.
Oseguera was the shadowy leader of the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), an outfit that took its moniker from the western state of the same name that is home to Mexico's second largest city, Guadalajara. Over a relatively short period of time, the CJNG became a continents-spanning criminal enterprise rivaling his former allies in the Sinaloa Cartel, the gang of captured kingpin Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman, now in a US prison, Reuters reported.
The US had offered a $15m reward for his capture.
