Former federal agent and his wife shot dead after testifying with the son of powerful Mexican cartel leader

A former Mexican federal agent testified against the drug dealer son of the country’s most wanted man and was shot dead in the middle of Morelos.

Ivan Morales is a witness to prosecution at the U.S. trial Ruben Oseguera Gonzalez, Leader of the new generation of Jalisco cartel in Mexico, who was sentenced to life in prison by a Washington court in March.

Gonzalez’s father is Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes – renamed “El Mencho” – Who is in charge of Cartel, who has a US $15 million bounty on his head.

Morales and his wife were shot dead Wednesday morning for traveling in a vehicle about 60 miles from Mexico City, according to police reports.

Local media reported that state prosecutors are investigating the crime and do not regard revenge as a possible motive.

Morales survived a bloodiest drug attack in Mexico a decade ago (May 1, 2015) when a military helicopter carrying 16 soldiers was shot dead in the western state of Jalisco.

Nine people died, but Morales managed to get rid of the burning wreckage, despite severe burns that disfigured his face.

The helicopter finally arrested El Mejo’s mission.

In September, a federal jury ruled that the young Oseguera (nicknamed “El Menchito”) conspired to distribute cocaine and methamphetamine to distribute U.S. imports and to use guns in drug conspiracy.

“El Menchito led the Jalisco Cartel’s efforts to use murder, kidnapping and torture to build Cartel into a self-proclaimed ’empire’ by making Fentanyl and flooding the United States with a large number of deadly drugs,” former U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said in September.

Prosecutors said Ruben Oseguera ordered the killing of at least 100 people, shot at least two people in person, and ordered subordinates to shoot down Mexican military helicopters in 2015.
