Videos circulated on social media showed smoke rising over streets and vehicles on fire across the city. Some visitors said they were directed by local authorities to remain at their hotels or other secure locations as violence continued.
Mexican authorities said Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho,” the head of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), was killed during a military operation in Tapalpa, Jalisco, on Feb. 22.
The cartel has been linked to widespread drug trafficking and criminal activity in Mexico and abroad.
The areas noted by the State Department include Jalisco State (including Puerto Vallarta, Chapala, and Guadalajara), Tamaulipas State (including Reynosa and other municipalities), parts of Michoacán State, Guerrero State, and Nuevo León State.
