Mario Nawfal's post from February 23, 2026, shows dramatic footage from Jalisco, Mexico, where suspected CJNG (Jalisco New Generation Cartel) gunmen are firing automatic weapons from a moving vehicle toward Mexican security forces. The caption describes it as "absolutely insane" and emphasizes that "this isn't a movie—this is Mexico right now."This video is part of a much larger wave of violence that erupted immediately after the confirmed killing of Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera Cervantes, the longtime leader and founder of the CJNG—one of Mexico's most powerful and violent drug cartels.Key details from recent reports:El Mencho (age ~59) was killed on Sunday, February 22, 2026, during a Mexican military operation in Tapalpa, Jalisco. He was seriously wounded in a shootout while forces attempted to capture him, and he died en route (by helicopter) to Mexico City for medical treatment.
The operation involved Mexican special forces, with U.S. intelligence reportedly providing support. The U.S. had placed a $15 million bounty on him and recently designated CJNG as a foreign terrorist organization.
In the raid: 4 CJNG members were killed on site, several more died later (including El Mencho), and 3 Mexican soldiers were injured.
His death triggered immediate retaliatory attacks by CJNG members and affiliates:Vehicles, businesses (including stores like 7-Eleven and reportedly a Costco in Puerto Vallarta), and even highways were set on fire or blocked in multiple states (Jalisco, Colima, Michoacán, Guanajuato, Nayarit, Tamaulipas, and others—at least 8–12 states reported incidents).
Gunfights, road blockades, arson, and chaos have been widespread, stranding tourists (especially in beach areas like Puerto Vallarta), closing schools in some regions, and prompting safety warnings.
Experts warn this creates a major power vacuum inside CJNG, which could lead to internal fighting among lieutenants or family members trying to take control—potentially prolonging the violence.
This is being described as one of the biggest blows against Mexican cartels in over a decade (comparable to the captures of "El Chapo" Guzmán), but it has also unleashed significant short-term chaos, especially in CJNG strongholds like Jalisco.The situation remains highly fluid, with ongoing clashes reported as of February 23, 2026.
