Nahomi Elizabeth Martínez, a 22-year-old National Guard member from Zacatecas, died in the line of duty during clashes in Jalisco on February 24, 2026, as one of 25 agents killed in the operation against the CJNG following the death of cartel leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, 'El Mencho,' according to ZuritaCarpio on X. The developments emerged during the 59-minute reporting window ending at 3:15 PM UTC. Milenio reported that El Mencho took refuge in a luxury two-story house at the Tapalpa Country Club residential area in the Jalisco mountains, where he attempted to escape via a back garden path but was hit by bullets, critically wounded, and died en route to a hospital by helicopter, as documented by reporter Jorge Martínez. El Universal detailed the forced entry into the cabin, which contained an altar, religious images, high-end furniture, and Tationil Plus medication for kidney failure, with photos by Valente Rosas. The reports confirm El Mencho's final hideout in the exclusive Tapalpa Country Club, contrasting its modern architecture and spacious rooms with the violent federal operation outcome, according to Milenio and El Universal posts on X during the reporting window. These events follow CJNG threats to civilians in Michoacán and violence including blockades and arson in Jalisco municipalities reported earlier on February 24, as covered in prior reporting.
