An alleged Sinaloa cartel leader who was wanted by US authorities on suspicion of operating the “world’s largest known fentanyl production network” was killed by the Mexican military on Sunday.
Pedro Inzunza Coronel, better known under the alias “El Pichón,” allegedly attacked members of the Mexican Navy during a drug raid in the northwestern state of Sinaloa, Omar Garcia Harfuch, Mexico’s security secretary, wrote on X.
Harfuch wrote that Coronel “lost his life” during the raid, though the exact manner of his death is unclear.
In May, the US Department of Justice charged Coronel and his father, Pedro Inzunza Noriega, with narco-terrorism, drug trafficking and money laundering committed while the pair ran the Beltran Leyva Organization, a faction with the Sinaloa cartel that has since been shut down.
The father-son duo were accused of shipping tens of thousands of kilograms of fentanyl into the US. The Mexican government additionally seized more than 1.65 tons of fentanyl from the faction’s holdings.
It is, to date, the single largest seizure of fentanyl in the world, according to the DOJ.
The indictment was a “first in the nation to charge” that the DOJ said was only made possible through President Trump’s executive order that designated the Sinaloa cartel as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

WAR CRIME! WAR CRIME! WAR CRIME! WAPO, National Review & Rand Paul say so!
So it's OK for fentanyl to kill tens of thousands of people a year here in the USA then?
Look what happens when you fight back and don’t act like a cowardly leftist.
There were 2 factions fighting for control. At the time, the more violent faction was losing, badly.
In this battle, El Chapo’s successors were the good guys.
Actually I do, as surely as I know you're a jerk. Sod off.
For someone to take that from what I said takes one addled brain.
The pigeon won’t be singing..
If you knew the first thing you would know that US drug addicts do not demand Fentanyl. It is a pointless drug with no high. I’ve had it several times in the cardiac unit at Cleveland Clinic. And, as a recreational drug is is pointless.
What US recreational drug users want is cocaine, oxy, heroin, meth, ecstasy, etc.
What they get is fake versions laced with fentanyl which kills them.
Idiot.
