New satellite images show dozens of fires burning across the tourist city of Puerto Vallarta on the same day Mexican authorities captured and killed cartel leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as 'El Mencho'. The violence is part of a wider outbreak that has spread to multiple areas following his death in custody.
