El Mencho’s ruthless cartel has long been considered one of the most brutal in Mexico, with its bloodthirsty leader using extreme torture and violence to instill fear into rivals.
Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) boss Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, 59, was killed on Sunday in a joint Mexican military and US-backed operation in Tapalpa, a town of 20,000 people in the Sierra Madre mountains.
During his merciless rule, kingpin El Mencho displayed a savagery many deemed extreme even by narco standards.
In one particularly gruesome act in 2020, CJNG hitmen tortured a half-naked man before standing on his head and cutting open his chest with a knife.
As the victim screamed in agony, a cartel member can be heard shouting: ‘So you can see that’s how we Jalisco people are… we’re going to exterminate you all.’ Another adds: ‘Pure Mencho’s people, we are the Jaliscos’.
The operative who brutally cut open the victim’s chest then began to pull out his organs before eating them for the camera as others around him laughed.
CJNG have also been implicated in a series of massacres, including the torture and murder of 35 people whose bodies were found dumped in the streets of Veracruz during an evening rush hour in 2011.

Just two years later, CJNG operatives allegedly raped, killed, and set fire to a 10-year-old girl whom they mistakenly believed was a rival’s daughter.
In 2015, CJNG assassins executed a man and his elementary-school-age son by detonating sticks of dynamite duct-taped to their bodies, laughing as they filmed the ghastly scene with their phones.
‘This is ISIS stuff,’ one DEA agent who has investigated the cartel told Rolling Stone in 2017. ‘The manner in which they kill people, the sheer numbers – it’s unparalleled even in Mexico.’
In one video circulating on social media following El Mencho’s death, an alleged member of the rival MF Cartel can be seen tied to a tree in Sinaloa.
The brutal clip, from November last year, shows an apparent CJNG hitman preparing a flamethrower before spraying the bound man with a stream of fire. The MF member is quickly engulfed in the orange flames.
‘We’ve seen it become very bloody, and a lot of people attribute that to El Mencho himself,’ said Scott Stewart, a senior cartel analyst. ‘Wherever they try to muscle in, it creates bodies.’
Captured CJNG members have also previously testified about how El Mencho hates disobedience and likes to make his victims beg forgiveness before killing them.
