ZAPOPAN, Mexico, March 3, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The notorious Mexican drug lord Nemesio Oseguera was laid to rest in a simple grave Monday in a ceremony that featured trucks overflowing with flowers, traditional music and dozens of masked soldiers in armored vehicles. On Saturday, federal prosecutors handed Oseguera's body over to his family, which took it from Mexico City to Guadalajara for burial in the suburb of Zapopan. -Flowers and a band-Starting Sunday the funeral home holding his body was surrounded by dozens of soldiers, national guardsmen, and police who interrogated anyone who came close. The security forces dissuaded curious onlookers but did not halt an endless stream of floral bouquets sent to pay tribute to Oseguera. Upon learning of their leader's death, cartel gunmen retaliated across Mexico, blocking highways, burning down businesses, and opening fire on security forces.
