This is how "El R5", leader of the Los Reyes Cartel, was killed; US offered 3 million for his arrest

Mexican military forces, including the Army and National Guard, conducted a precision operation in Tocumbo, Michoacán, to apprehend Luis Enrique 'N', known as 'El Güicho' or 'R5', a leader of the 'Cartel de Los Reyes' drug trafficking organization. During the operation, R5 and his companion were killed after they opened fire on the officers, prompting them to defend themselves. The military seized two automatic rifles, ammunition, and a quad bike. R5 had taken over leadership of the cartel following the arrest of another leader, Alfonso 'N' (alias 'Poncho'), earlier this year. The U.S. Department of State had offered a $3 million reward for information leading to R5's arrest due to his involvement in drug and arms trafficking. R5 was also under a provisional detention order for extradition to the United States.
