Officer Nahomi Martínez Killed in El Mencho Operation Sparks Mourning in Zacatecas

A Mexican National Guard officer, Nahomi Martínez from Zacatecas, was killed Feb. 22, 2026, during an operation in Jalisco against a CJNG cell linked to Nemesio Oseguera, “El Mencho,” which authorities say also led to the cartel leader’s arrest after an ambush. Tributes poured in from Martínez’s home state—highlighting her dedication and ties to the Autonomous University of Zacatecas and local basketball clubs—while Mexico’s defense secretary lauded the fallen personnel and lawmakers defended the nation’s service. Martinez was remembered by family and officials as a young officer who died defending the country.

Tragic Discovery: 6 Bodies and 1 Survivor Found in Search for Kidnapped Teens in Mexico

Six bodies have been found and one survivor has been rescued in the search for seven teenagers who were kidnapped in Zacatecas, Mexico. The identities of the victims have been released, but the motive for the crime and the identity of the criminal group behind it remain unclear. Two suspects have been arrested in connection with the disappearance. The families of the victims believe it was originally a kidnapping-for-ransom job, while the authorities claim it was a "deprivation of liberty" as no ransom was demanded. The case highlights the ongoing issue of disappearances in Mexico, with over 100,000 cases and a low rate of crime resolution.
