The Mexican state of Jalisco will remain under a “code red” Monday, with public transport and schools remaining closed, its governor said Sunday. The announcement follows a day of violence in the coastal city of Puerto Vallarta in the wake of a government announcement that the head of one of the country’s most powerful crime groups was dead.

Smoke from burning vehicles blackened the sky in Puerto Vallarta, a popular tourist destination on the Pacific coast. Similar scenes played out in Guadalajara, the capital of Jalisco, and across several states on Sunday morning. (...)

Gov. Pablo Lemus Navarro issued a video statement announcing the continuation of the state’s state of emergency, saying he expected things to get back to normal in the coming days.

“What we have lived today was exceptional,” said Lemus Navarro.

The state attorney general of Jalisco said in a statement that 25 people had been detained after a day of blockades, fires and looting. Various types of vehicles were burned at 65 different spots throughout the state, said the attorney general’s office.

The mass violence flared as federal authorities announced they had launched a special forces operation to capture Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mencho," the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).

Oseguera Cervantes was wounded in a clash with federal authorities and died from his injuries while en route to Mexico City, the Secretariat of National Defence said in a statement.

The operation was initially launched in the municipality of Tapalpa, which sits roughly 300 kilometres southeast of Puerto Vallarta.

The National Defence Secretariat said that four people belonging to the CJNG were killed during the operation, and three cartel members were wounded, including El Mencho, but all died during transport. Two people were also detained, said the secretariat.

Violence has also been reported in the states of Michoacán, Guanajuato, Querétaro, Tamaulipas, Zacatecas and San Luis Potosi. The attorney general of Michoacán said that four people had been killed following five confrontations between security forces and armed groups.

But the federal government said it was beginning to establish order.
