Mexican authorities confirmed that the man killed in a shootout with federal forces in Michoacán was Nazario Moreno González aka “El Chayo”, head of the Knights Templar (Los Caballeros Templarios) drug cartel. Despite the shootout having taken place more than three years ago, the identity of the drug kingpin, which was verified by his fingerprints, has only been confirmed now. Autopsy photos of his corpse have also been released.
El Chayo was shot dead on December 10, 2010 in a clash with members of the Mexican Navy and La Sedena. The shootout occurred in the city of Apatzingán, in the area known as the Tierra Caliente in Michoacan State. His death was announced by the administration of the then president Felipe Calderón, but the corpse was never shown to the journalists, so there were doubts about his alleged death.
It is said that El Chayo was a ruthless leader who turned the whole Knights Templar cartel into a ruthless organization. He was also allegedly directly responsible for multiple murders.
