An alleged fentanyl trafficker charged with narco terrorism and money laundering by the U.S. Department of Justice was killed by Mexican forces in Sinaloa, according to a new report.

Omar Garcia Harfuch, Mexico's security secretary, confirmed the death of Pedro Inzunza Coronel in a social media post. "In an operation led by the Navy Secretariat, real estate and lobs were located. Forces secured guns, vehicles, drugs, chemical precursors and two operatives of the criminal cell were detained," he said.

"When attacking Navy personnel, Pedro 'N' Pichon lost his life. He had an extradition warrant requested by the Federal District Court for the Southern District of California for crimes of import and distribution of fentanyl and cocaine," he added.

CBS News recalled that the DOJ charged Coronel and his father with narco-terrorism, drug trafficking and money laundering and identified as members of the Beltran Leyva cartel, a defunct offset of the Sinaloa cartel.

The charge alleged that the man helped traffic tens of thousands of kilos of fentanyl into the U.S.

U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ronald Johnson reacted to the development with a social media post, saying Inzunza was accused of different crimes, including "murders, kidnappings, torture, and violent debt collection for drug trafficking."

"These results reflect what our nations can achieve when they work together against those who pose a threat to our citizens," Johnson said in the publication.
