Mexican forces kill Joaquín El Chapo Guzmáns successor, Joaquín El Mencho López

Mexican Forces Kill Notorious Cartel Leader “El Mencho”

In a joint operation, Mexican forces have killed Joaquín Guzmán Loera, also known as “El Mencho,” the nation’s most-wanted cartel leader. The operation took place in the state of Sinaloa, where Guzmán was reportedly hiding.

According to reports, U.S. intelligence played a role in identifying Guzmán’s location and facilitating the raid. Mexican authorities have confirmed that Guzmán was killed during the operation.

The killing has led to widespread unrest in Puerto Vallarta, a popular tourist destination in Mexico. As a result, U.S. citizens are being advised to shelter in place until further notice.

Guzmán, a former police officer, co-founded an ultraviolent cartel in Mexico that has been responsible for numerous violent crimes and human rights abuses. His death is seen as a significant blow to the cartel’s operations.

The Mexican government has confirmed that Guzmán was killed during the operation, but no further details have been released. The U.S. Department of State has issued a statement urging citizens to exercise caution when traveling to Mexico due to the ongoing unrest.

Guzmán’s death marks the end of a long and violent career as a cartel leader, and his killing is seen as a major victory for Mexican authorities in their efforts to combat organized crime.
