Los Rs

So what?  A single CJNG-linked cell leader now tied to both a sitting mayor's assassination and a viral-fame killing shows cartel violence fusing with Mexico's public-safety and information environment, not just its politics. Watch whether prosecutors can establish a direct order from CJNG's national leadership rather than treating Los Rs as a freelancing local cell, since that link would confirm the cartel itself, not a semi-autonomous franchise, reaches into both political assassination and personal vendetta killings.
