Puerto Vallarta: the Mexican paradise in flames over the killing of 'El Mencho'

Dozens of incinerated vehicles lined the streets and some vandalized stores were empty Tuesday, with stunned residents and tourists still in disbelief. "It feels like we're in a war-zone," Javier Perez, a 41-year-old engineer who lives in the city, told AFP as he went through the parking lot of a grocery store replete with burnt out cars. It all started when Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera, the top leader of the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), was killed in a Mexican military raid on Sunday.
