Early life
Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes was born on 17 July 1966 in the rural community of Culotitlán in Aguililla, Michoacán. His first name was cited as "Rubén" and/or "Nemesio". He had alternative aliases such as "Nemecio", "Rubén Acerguera Cervantes", "Lorenzo Mendoza", and "Nemesio Oseguera Ramos". Some sources state that his birth-given name was Rubén but that he changed it to Nemesio in memory of his godfather. He was widely known by his alias "El Mencho", a nickname that derives from Nemesio. Another nickname was "The Lord of the Roosters", said to be derived from his love for cockfighting.
