Nemesio Oseguera, commonly known as 'El Mencho,' has been killed in a military raid, Mexican officials said on Sunday, as the country's government has been ramping up pressure on cartels after US intervention threats.
Mexico's defence ministry said a shootout in the western state of Jalisco left Oseguera seriously injured and he died during an air transfer to Mexico City. The ministry noted that US authorities had provided "complementary information."
The operation set off a wave of violence, with torched cars and gunmen blocking highways in more than half a dozen states.
