Covid-19 sends Los Zetas leader Moises Escamilla May to morgue

It wasn’t a hitman’s bullet that took out a Mexican cartel chieftain. Covid-19 sent Los Zetas leader Moises Escamilla May to the morgue. He was serving a 37-year sentence for decapitating 12.

Old School Zetas was formed by Mexican army deserters who were originally in the Gulf Cartel. After Omar Trevino Morales was arrested, the gang split into two factions and fought a brutal war until 2018.
