Mexico captures "El Señorón," a suspected leader of the powerful Jalisco cartel who is accused in murders of three doctors

Mexican authorities have captured a suspected leader of the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel, the navy and the Morelos state prosecutor's office said Saturday.

Francisco Javier Rodriguez Hernandez, known as "El Señorón" or "XL" or "Frank," was apprehended on Friday in the tourist city of Mazatlan, in the northwest state of Sinaloa, in an operation carried out by navy agents.

The Department of Justice considers the Jalisco cartel to be "one of the five most dangerous transnational criminal organizations in the world."
