This is an evolving story and nothing has been confirmed.
Update 12:55 CST
According to Jemirez, El Panu was killed! I believe this to be true and if it holds up, I will share the story of when I met him.
Update 12:09 CST
I am told that El Panu is alive and well. The Chapitos confirm that Panu was not even in Mexico state and laugh that this is the 8th time he’s been killed.
Update 10:35 CST
It looks like it was not Panu, but still unconfirmed.
María José Rojo, the victim’s wife, revealed that her father is the Sinaloa native Adolfo Rojo Montoya.
She said her partner was Oscar Ruiz. The Mexico City Prosecutor’s Office (@FiscaliaCDMX) is investigating whether he is actually Oscar Medina González, “El Panu,” a Los Chapitos narco.
By the end of the day, we will find out one way or another. I expect to have direct talks with Chapitos and DEA later today to confirm either way.
News came late last night that El Panu might have been killed in the luxurious Zona Rosa in Mexico City, dining with someone claiming to be his wife and another couple. Nothing is confirmed and there are disputed reports.
The mans wife said he was Oscar Ruiz, but there are indications it is Oscar Medina González, El Panu, a Sinaloa native for whom the U.S. is offering $4 million USD, claims journalist Carlos Jimenez.
The reporter goes on to say the man arrived two days ago from Sinaloa. I have doubts, but will reserve my thoughts for now.

I doubt it was but, you never know! Why would that fella bet out in the middle of people amid a war
panu jamás se expondría de esa manera, los que propagaron la información son las paginas afín a la organización rival
How many hits can the Chapitos keep taking? You think this war goes on for another year or do the chapitos turn themselves in?
Holy shit! How can we know for sure? This is a massive loss for chapitos right? Wonder what IAG and Jesus Alfredo will do next.
I’m going to write about my time and continual correspondence with Panu and offer a perspective that no other journalist can offer.
It may take a few days—I want more information to come in. I’m finishing a long-form editorial today, and tomorrow I’m flying across the country to ferry a plane back.
You are next , mica treviño
In your dreams.
is it true?
Nothing is confirmed
Mica, a mi se me hace raro que disque esten sacando la confirmacion de la madre de la Panu, como chingados dan con su mama segun ellos, ni que fuera artista, aparte una pieza clave no se expondria de esa forma en plena pinche guerra, para eso tienen secretarios, o hay de 2, o quieren difundir esa noticia para bajar la lumbre o efectivamente si lo mataron, pero yo no creo la verdad, dime tu que opinas
That guy panu is somewhere in a safe house not answering his phone right now.
