[edit] Biography
Born in Apatzingán, he was raised Catholic and then he converted to Jehovah's Witness for some time.[10][11][12][13] Moreno founded the Familia Michoacana Cartel after the arrest of his boss Carlos Rosales Mendoza. La Familia is the fastest-growing cartel in the country’s drug war and a religious cult-like gang that celebrates "family values".[14] Shortly after founding La Familia Cartel, Moreno struck a partnership with Gulf Cartel, which included training.[15] The cartel now has a foothold in 20 to 30 cities and towns across the United States.[15] In 2009 the government of Mexico offered a reward for 24 of the top drug kingpins in the country, offering as much as two million USD for each drug lord, including Moreno.[7][16] Moreno González required his men to carry a "spiritual manual" that he wrote himself and contains pseudo-Christian aphorisms for self improvement.[8][17]
Nazario Moreno's partners were José de Jesús Méndez Vargas, Servando Gómez Martínez and Dionicio Loya Plancarte, all of whom have a bounty of $2 million dollars each for their capture. [18]
[edit] Death
Moreno was killed in Michoacán on December 9, 2010 during a gun battle against security forces.[19] The shootout lasted about 2 days when La Familia gunmen attacked Federal Police in the city of Apatzingán and used burning vehicles as barricades, surrounding the state capital of Morelia in an attempt to prevent Federal Police from receiving reinforcements.[20].
