"The sofa is against the door, bullets litter the floor, a window has been shattered by a gunshot, a trunk serves as a trench, and there's also a deer missing an ear. It's the largest house in the La Loma luxury cabin complex in Tapalpa, a favorite town of Jalisco's wealthy and, as of last Sunday, the site where the Mexican army killed Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, El Mencho, the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG)."
"These are the remnants of the last battle fought by El Mencho and his security team before the drug lord fled into the trees with four of his bodyguards. There, in the undergrowth, he was mortally wounded. Even now, smoke rises from the forest."
"The Cabanas La Loma lodge has been identified by the U.S. Treasury Department as one of the businesses linked to the CJNG since 2015. In the town, it was known as one of the most exclusive places in this mountain range, which is accustomed to seeing people moving around with bodyguards in luxury vehicles."
El Mencho, leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), was killed by the Mexican army at Cabanas La Loma, a luxury cabin complex in Tapalpa, Jalisco. The property, identified by the U.S. Treasury Department as linked to CJNG since 2015, shows extensive battle damage including bullet holes, shell casings, blood traces, shattered windows, and burned vehicles. After the confrontation, El Mencho fled into the forest with four bodyguards where he was mortally wounded. The cabin complex, featuring multiple houses, recreational facilities, and parking areas, remained unguarded and accessible three days after the military operation, with scorched fields and burned-out vehicles surrounding the property.
