(CNN) — Mexican security forces killed the country’s most-wanted cartel leader Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes in a high-stakes operation on Sunday that set off a spiral of violence and chaos.

Oseguera was the leader and co-founder of the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel, a criminal group that has rapidly expanded its influence in recent years, becoming one of the main traffickers of methamphetamine and fentanyl into the US.

The attack comes at a pivotal moment for Mexico, as President Claudia Sheinbaum faces increasing pressure from her US counterpart Donald Trump to clamp down on drug trafficking.

It also comes just months before the Mexican city of Guadalajara – which was rocked by violence following the drug lord’s capture – is set to host four group-stage matches of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

How the attack was executed

After years of pursuing Oseguera, Mexican forces on February 20 received a concrete tip about the feared cartel leader’s whereabouts.

Their investigation into Oseguera’s network had led them to a key person who could help access his hideout – a “trusted man” of one of Oseguera’s lovers, according to Mexican Defense Secretary Ricardo Trevilla Trejo.

The following day, the lover left Oseguera’s cabin complex on the outskirts of Tapalpa, but the drug lord remained at the hideout with his security detail.

Mexico’s Air Force and the National Guard’s Special Immediate Reaction Force then swooped into action, putting together a plan and launching a raid within the next 24 hours.

To avoid arousing suspicion, the mission was primarily carried out by ground forces with limited air support from helicopters, Trevilla said.

Several Mexican military army units were present in central Tapalpa on Sunday morning according to CNN’s analysis of social media video.

Sheinbaum said the US shared intelligence that aided the operation but did not provide ground forces.

The Mexican troops established a perimeter around the complex and then closed in. As they did so, they came under fire from Oseguera’s lieutenants.

Using eyewitness video captured during the operation, CNN pinpointed El Mencho’s likely location in a wooded area which shelters several small, gated compounds just over three miles southwest of Tapalpa. The site, a vacation rental known as Cabañas La Loma, is near the Tapalpa Country Club down a long, remote driveway.

Cabañas La Loma was sanctioned by the US Treasury in 2015 and again in 2017 for providing “material assistance to the drug trafficking activities of (the Jalisco cartel).”

Eyewitness footage, first geolocated by online researcher Halipon and verified by CNN, shows dozens of uniformed people and armored vehicles advancing up a slope toward the site.

In other footage, filmed farther down the driveway, automatic gunfire can be heard, while a third video taken at the same time shows thick black smoke emanating from the site.

The exchange of fire killed eight cartel members and wounded two soldiers, Trevilla said.

Oseguera and several of his deputies then fled to a wooded area nearby, leaving behind a group “with a large quantity of weapons” who continued to fight.

While some of the Mexican troops stayed to engage the group at the cabin, a team of Special Forces personnel split off in pursuit of Oseguera, who they found hiding in an area of forest undergrowth.

After a further firefight, the Special Forces t

(CNN) — The masked person seen on the doorbell camera footage of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie’s home the morning she is believed to have been kidnapped was also at her doorstep on another night, a source tells CNN.

The photos and video of the masked person on Guthrie’s doorstep — released by the FBI on February 10 — were taken on two different days, rather than just on February 1, when authorities believe she was abducted, the source said. That’s because the masked suspect is not wearing a backpack in one of them, according to the source.

ABC News first reported the suspect appears to have been at her door before February 1.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department declined to comment and referred CNN to the FBI. CNN reached out to the FBI Phoenix office for comment.

Guthrie disappeared from her home after she was last seen on January 31. Local, state and federal law enforcement surged to the area and have spent over three weeks scouring the unruly desert landscape for Guthrie or any evidence of where she went.

Residents in Guthrie’s neighborhood were previously asked by the sheriff’s department to submit video as far back as January 1, but specifically focusing on two dates – January 11 between 9 p.m. and midnight, and January 31 between 9:30 and 11. The sheriff’s department specifically requested footage that includes cars, traffic, people or pedestrians, or anything that feels out of the ordinary or important.

The FBI released video and photos of a masked, armed man tampering with Guthrie’s doorbell camera the morning of her disappearance. From that video, investigators were able to identify the man was wearing an Ozark backpack, according to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, but are still trying to identify other items and where they might have been purchased.

Investigators continue to review “thousands of hours” of video obtained from the greater Tucson area, a law enforcement official familiar with the case told CNN.

They also continue to run lab analysis on DNA found at Guthrie’s house, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said Thursday. DNA on gloves found 2 miles from the home did not return any matches in the national database known as CODIS, and doesn’t match DNA found the house, either, Nanos said.

Her children have repeatedly pleaded for her return, taking to social media in an attempt to address purported ransom notes sent to several media outlets, as well as asking the public for help in her search. Despite the reports of the ransom, neither the family nor law enforcement have confirmed if they were real or if they made contact with the sender.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif.—There was a time when words traveled slowly— sealed with intention—carried from one heart to another.

And now that time has come again in Santa Barbara.

Sondra Weiss started a campaign a decade ago to help ignite more caring in the world.

She calls it "The Lost Art of Love Letters."

“I love snail mail because you really slow down and really think about what's in your heart, and then have a moment to express it to write it and add in whimsical drawings if you want. We live in such a rush-rush world, and perhaps someone will send a text or something to have an appreciation, but this shows that someone took their time,” said Weiss.

She partners up with different organizations and schools to write appreciation letters for non-profits ranging from environmental organizations to mental health advocacy organizations.

“A lot of times they're learning about the ocean for the first time or learning about Surfrider and what they're doing, and possibly they might volunteer with these organizations in the future,” said “The Lost Art of Love Letters” Founder.

Last week high school students from Cate School took a trip to the Environmental Defense Center in Santa Barbara, writing punny thank you letters to the donors of the non profit.

“Just getting a handwritten card, putting that emotion into it, and spending the time, making a drawing, thinking of a funny joke, is really like the cherry on top,” said High School Student Betsy Peters.

They also met with EDC staff, getting an inside look at the work they do.

“We learned a lot about their law program and the things that they try and help with— how they take on environmental cases and they don't really look at the money that they're going to get from it. They look more like the impact they'll make,” said High School Student Lotte Nicholas.

“I just have some shells, and it just says thank you. It's been really fun. It's very meditative and calming to sketch. You're sending some love and some appreciation,” said High School Student Rose Schreier.

This week The Lost Art of Love Letters will be collaborating with the Isla Vista Recreation and Parks District for Black History Month.
