The confirmation of El Mencho's death triggered a wave of cartel violence across western Mexico, forcing flight cancellations, diversions, and highway shutdowns as CJNG gunmen torched vehicles and blocked major travel corridors, Breitbart Texas reported.
The violence continued to spread across Mexico on Sunday from the Pacific side to the Gulf of America. Near the Texas border in Tamaulipas, cartel gunmen turned the area into what is described as a "war zone."
