Mexican newspapers El Universal and Reforma, and the Televisa network reported Oseguera\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

Earlier, people with guns set cars and trucks on fire in the western state of Jalisco, blocking several roads in response to a security operation taking place in the region.<\/p>\n

This technique is used to thwart police trying to move in on a high-value target.<\/p>\n
