LIVE AND LET DIE

Mexico Kills Cartel Leader Again

Death of El Chayo reported for second time.

Mexican drug lord Nazario Moreno Gonzalez, better known as El Chayo—the craziest one—was gunned down and killed by Mexican authorities. At least, that’s what they are saying. The report of his death would be a great victory for Mexico's fight against the violent drug cartels, if the government hadn't already claimed to have successfully killed Moreno in 2010. Authorities never had strong physical evidence that El Chayo, who famously hurled the heads of five rival gang members onto a dance floor, was dead. There were many rumors that the government's claim was false. On Sunday, Mexican authorities faced the ultimate proof they were wrong: a living El Chayo. The government is a little more cautious today, explaining that while fingerprints confirm it is him, they are still awaiting DNA results.
