José ‘N’, known as ‘El Pepe’ or ‘Pepe’, was detained in a military operation in Tlajomulco de Zúñiga municipality, in the Guadalajara metropolitan area, Jalisco. According to the V Military Region, the arrest was carried out by Mexican Army Special Forces and National Guard elements during ground patrols. Authorities identify him as a logistics operator for the Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) and a trusted figure in its leadership, allegedly responsible for transporting Guadalupe Moreno Carrillo, named as one of ‘El Mencho’s sentimental partners and CJNG leader. This capo was killed in Tapalpa, Jalisco, and died on February 22 while being transferred for medical attention, per military reports. Drugs, weapons, and a vehicle were seized at the time of detention. The suspect was turned over to the Guadalajara office of the Fiscalía General de la República (FGR) for investigations and expert analyses to determine his legal status. Guadalupe Moreno Carrillo appears in military intelligence reports from the Guacamaya Leaks as a frequent companion of ‘El Mencho’, with regional coordination roles. The U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has identified her as close to Oseguera Cervantes, involved in CJNG financial operations, though she remains free. One source erroneously refers to ‘Rubén Oseguera Cervantes’ as ‘El Mencho’, but consistent reports name him Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes.
