Conflicting reports have emerged regarding the status of Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera Cervantes, the leader of Mexico's Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).

One report described a funeral procession featuring a gold casket, with the hearse reportedly guarded by military trucks and accompanied by dozens of mourners. The account suggested the cartel leader's death had caused chaos in Mexico.

However, separate reporting indicates that members of Oseguera Cervantes' family have previously used deception tactics, including staging fake deaths to help family members escape Mexico. According to this account, one of El Mencho's daughters was found operating a coffee shop in California.

The Jalisco New Generation Cartel, under Oseguera Cervantes' leadership, has been considered one of Mexico's most powerful criminal organizations. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration has offered a $10 million reward for information leading to his arrest.

Neither Mexican nor U.S. authorities have officially confirmed the cartel leader's death. The conflicting nature of the reports highlights the difficulty in verifying information about high-profile cartel figures, who often use disinformation as a security tactic.
