The girlfriend of Mexican drug lord Nemesio Oseguera, nicknamed ‘El Mencho’, is believed to have played a crucial role in the hunt and elimination of the drug cartel leader.
The Straits Times reported on February 24th that Mexican intelligence had been monitoring El Mencho ‘s girlfriend to track the drug lord’s whereabouts. Intelligence indicated she planned to meet El Mencho in the town of Tapalpa, Jalisco state, Mexico.
Speaking at a press conference on February 23, Mexican Defense Minister Ricardo Trevilla said that “one of El Mencho’s lovers” had been brought to the house in Tapalpa by an associate. On February 21, she met with Oseguera and then left.

Mexican forces meticulously planned the attack on February 22nd. After confirming Oseguera’s presence at his house in Tapalpa, the military decided to raid the drug lord’s residence. El Mencho and his bodyguards fled and took refuge in the forest. El Mencho’s group engaged in a gunfight with Mexican forces. Oseguera and two bodyguards were wounded and died while being transported to the hospital.
Following El Mencho’s death, his close bodyguard, Hugo H., nicknamed “El Tuli,” ordered road blockades, vehicle arson, and attacks in retaliation for his boss’s death. The Mexican army discovered and killed El Tuli in the town of El Grullo, also in Jalisco, on February 22.

The rain poured heavily that night, turning the quiet road beside Silver Lake into a glistening ribbon of darkness. Inside a sleek black luxury car, Richard Miller drove slowly along the empty road. The windshield wipers swept back and forth in a steady rhythm, cutting through the sheets of rain that blurred the world outside. […]
