Narco Violence

The death of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as ‘El Mencho’, leader of the Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación, has brought back attention to the case of influencer Juan Luis Lagunas Rosales, ‘El Pirata de Culiacán’. Lagunas was murdered in 2017 at a bar in Zapopan, Jalisco, after posting a video insulting the drug lord. Authorities did not confirm a direct link, but the incident is tied to organized crime violence.
