Mexico plunged into chaos after the death of one of the most powerful drug lords in the world. Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as El Mencho, the head of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel cartel (CJNG), was killed on February 22, 2026 during an operation by the Mexican army in Tapalpa, Jalisco. According to official statements from the Ministry of Defense, he was badly injured in the shooting, and death occurred during transport by helicopter to Mexico City.
What shook public opinion and heated social media are sensational reports of the circumstances of his last hours. According to viral coverage, which rapidly ran the X platform (formerly Twitter) and news portals, El Mencho spent the last 24 hours of his life accompanied by popular model OnlyFans and influencerk and Maria Julissy. Sources close to the investigation and numerous posts indicate that the meeting with her allowed the services to track down the Baron's hideout. American intelligence and Mexican special forces allegedly followed the romantic partner El Mencho, who led them straight to the "love nest" in Tapalpa.
Maria Julissa quickly reacted to the wave of accusations. On her Instagram, she strongly denied all links with the Baron, calling the whole story "a forgery created by AI" and "an attempt to destroy her image". She stressed that circulating recordings with her supposed voice were Deepfake, and the photos were framed or taken out of context. Nevertheless, the rumor does not go away – thousands of netizens speculate whether it was "night with OnlyFans" that sealed the fate of the most dangerous cartel boss in Mexico.
El Mencho's death triggered an immediate wave of retaliation. CJNG cartel blocked roads, set fire to cars, buses and petrol stations in several states. Civilians and officers died, and tourists in Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara received recommendations to shelter in hotels. Mexico's president Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed the success of the operation, but stressed that the country was entering a new dangerous chapter in the fight against cartels.
Was Maria Julissa really the last person to see El Mencho alive? Did she — knowingly or not — provide a key clue to the services? For the time being, it's hot gossip and speculation. One thing is certain: the death of a 59-year-old baron ends the era of one of the bloodiest chapters in the history of Mexican narcosity, and his final hours forever remain covered in legend.
El Mencho: the most felt cartel boss in the western hemisphere, reportedly spent his last 24 hours alive with an adult content creator.

I want to take a moment to explain the situation which I consider important and which I want to discuss in a direct and transparent manner.
In recent days, I have seen social media spreading information linking me to what is currently happening in Mexico. I want to be absolutely clear: I have nothing to do with this situation.
The information that is circulating is false and has no basis.
Please do not share content without verification and do not accept everything that appears on the network as true. Disinformation can do a lot of damage.
I thank those who have taken the time to ask me directly, and those who have supported me.
Please don't fall for false messages and always use reliable, official sources.
Thank you for understanding. – Maria Julissa on Instagram
