Violence Follows Mexican Cartel Leader's Death; US Company Evacuates Employee Amid Unrest

Violence erupted across multiple Mexican states following the killing of Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera, leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, by Mexican military forces. Gunmen retaliated with attacks including setting vehicles and businesses on fire, blocking roads, and targeting security forces, notably disrupting Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara. The unrest led to flight cancellations and travel disruptions. Amid the chaos, US tech company Vercel secured seats on all US-bound flights from Guadalajara to evacuate its employee and his wife safely.
