El Mencho’s Demise: Mexico Plunges into Chaos as Cartel Kingpin’s Death Ignites Widespread Violence
The killing of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mencho," leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), has plunged Mexico into widespread violence, with reports of chaos across 18 states.
