The Mexican army on Sunday killed Mexican drug lord Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho.”
Oseguera headed the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.
The United States had offered a $15 million bounty for his capture.
US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau welcomed the killing as a “great development for Mexico, US, Latin America, and the world.”
The US Justice Department considers the cartel to be one of Mexico’s most violent drug trafficking organizations.
