Mexican drug lord El Mencho’s killing has put a spotlight on his family members and possible successors. Interestingly, one of his daughters, named Jessica Johanna Oseguera is a US citizen and is in line of succession, according to reports. El Mencho, who was the founder of notorious and most powerful cartel Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), was killed on Feb 22 in an operation by Mexican Army. The US said that it assisted the operation by providing intelligence support. The US State Department had offered a $15 million reward for his capture.
Who are his family members?
El Mencho was married to a woman named Rosalinda González Valencia. The couple reportedly married in 1996. Rosalinda is a member of the influential Valencia family, which founded Los Cuinis, the financial and money-laundering arm of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). She is often referred to as “La Jefa”. Several reports indicate that the couple legally separated in September 2018. They have three children together – Rubén Oseguera González, Jessica Johanna Oseguera, and Laisha Oseguera. Rosalinda González Valencia was arrested several times and currently maintains a low profile. She was last arrested in November 2021 in Zapopan, Jalisco, by the Mexican military. However, she was released in 2025 after a judge granted her early release for “good behavior.”
