"All the main roads or block any sort of access to Guadalajara are blocked right now," says a Kingsburg man. "The large vehicles are also being set on fire."

A Central Valley man says he's stuck near the destruction in Guadalajara right now.
He spoke to us virtually, but asked that we not reveal his identity given the circumstances.
"I feel okay right now where I am, but I am still kind of uneasy just because I don't know what's going to happen next," he said. "I think the town right next to us has a heavy cartel presence."
The chaos comes after Mexican officials say the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel was killed in a military operation Sunday.
American travelers are fearful of flying into the area after violence erupted Sunday.
"It's just not safe at all to fly," says a woman at the Fresno-Yosemite International Airport.
A woman who also asked not to be identified was one of many people who were supposed to fly out to Guadalajara Sunday.
Many flights from Fresno were cancelled or delayed to the city of Jalisco following the chaos.
The woman, going by the pseudonym "Maria," said she hopes her delayed flight gets cancelled.
"You're better off just holding off and canceling because even if you fly out, there's just no way out of the airport," she said.
She says her aunt was caught in the chaos, but thankfully, she made it out of the area.
The fear it caused her family is something many others are feeling.
