On 5 March 2025, groups searching for missing persons in Mexico found 200 pairs of shoes, personal belongings, apparent human bones and three crematoriums in Rancho Izaguirre, about 4.5 km (2.8 mi) southeast of Teuchitlán.[3] Members of the New Generation Jalisco Cartel allegedly used it as a confinement, training and extermination center. State authorities had secured the ranch in September 2024.[4][5][6]
