"Mexican armed forces have killed powerful drug lord Nemesio El Mencho Oseguera Cervantes in an operation that has set off a wave of violence in some parts of the country. The leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel was wounded on Sunday in a clash with soldiers in Tapalpa, a town in the western state of Jalisco. He died while being flown to Mexico City, the army said."
"July 2024: Mexican drug lord Ismael El Mayo Zambada is arrested at an airfield near El Paso, a city in the state of Texas in the United States, along with a son of his Sinaloa Cartel partner, drug kingpin Joaquin El Chapo Guzman. Zambada alleges Joaquin Guzman Lopez kidnapped him and turned him over to US agents. A Guzman family lawyer says the men's surrender was voluntary and followed extended negotiations."
"January 2023: Ovidio Guzman Lopez, another son of El Chapo and brother of Joaquin, is arrested in Culiacan, the capital of the northwestern state of Sinaloa. His arrest comes after his short-lived detention in October 2019, which was followed by an order by then-President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador to release him to avoid bloodshed when his cartel retaliated. July 2022: Mexico's navy announces the capture of drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero, convicted for the murder and torture of a US antinarcotics agent in 1985."
