MEXICO CITY (REUTERS) – Mexico is offering a 30 million pesos ($1.56 million) reward for information leading to the arrest of drug lord Nemesio Oseguera whose cartel is blamed for driving heroin shipments to the United States, the attorney general said on Wednesday.
Known as “El Mencho,†Oseguera has risen to become Mexico’s most-wanted drug lord after Joaquin “El Chapo†Guzman was extradited to the United States last year to face trial.
In March, U.S. agents in Chicago named El Mencho public enemy No. 1 and blamed his gang for using “extreme violence†to expand their share of the heroin trade. The United States is offering $5 million for information leading to his capture.

"El Mencho" seems to be the new top honcho of the Mexican narco-traffickers. See the last sentence below, we offer $5 million. I"m not sure if this has a lot to do with the violence in Chicago but that city is mentioned as well.
