A U.S tourist visiting the Mexican city of Puerto Vallarta recalled his fear after being holed up in his hotel room as clashes broke out between the Mexican army and cartel gunmen following the killing of the country’s most powerful drug lord.
According to Associated Press the killing of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes over the weekend sparked a surge in violence and put the country on edge.
The Pacific resort city of Puerto Vallarta was one area hard hit by cartel reprisals, frightening tourists.
Steve Perkins, 57, had been visiting Puerto Vallarta with his wife and friends.
The couple was scheduled to return to Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, on Monday when their flight was canceled.
Perkins said he and his wife were having coffee on the terrace of their hotel room in downtown on Sunday when they heard rounds of explosions and gunshots, and saw smoke billowing over the city around 8:30 a.m.
“The entire downtown in the bay was just covered in thick black smoke, pretty scary,” Perkins said. “And then at one point, we heard screams. We heard a lot of screams … So then we started getting really worried.”
Perkins and his wife traded out their flip-flops for running shoes in case “we needed to make a run for it.”
Oseguera Cervantes was the boss of one of the fastest-growing criminal networks in Mexico, known for trafficking fentanyl, methamphetamine and cocaine to the United States and staging brazen attacks against Mexican government officials.
The organization responded to his death with widespread violence, including erecting more than 250 roadblocks across 20 states and setting fire to vehicles.
The capo died after a shootout with the Mexican military on Sunday.
Mexican Defense Secretary Gen. Ricardo Trevilla said Monday that authorities had tracked one of his romantic partners to his hideout in Tapalpa.
The cartel leader and two bodyguards fled into a wooded area where they were seriously wounded in a firefight. They were taken into custody and died on the way to Mexico City, Trevilla said.
