The government says the injured were given medical aid.
It's unclear who the people on the boat were, but the incident comes at a moment of heightened tension between the U.S.
and Cuba.
Thirty years ago this week, the Cuban government shot down an airplane run by Brothers to the Rescue, a Miami-based group who rescued Cuban migrants at sea.
Cuba insisted the plane violated their airspace.
The United States Congress responded with sweeping sanctions that are still in place today.
Eder Peralta, NPR News, Mexico City.
His name was Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, but he was known as El Mencho.
He was 59 years old.
And within the past 10 years, this man allegedly built one of the most powerful organized crime groups in the world.
He started in the western Mexican state of Jalisco, but he oversaw a massive violent expansion.
So they are now operating from north to south and even internationally.
We spoke to one man in Guadalajara who was trying to get home yesterday and he said that men pointed guns at him.
He called 911 and they simply told him, go home and stay indoors.
We spoke to one woman near the town where El Mencho was killed and she says first she heard helicopters and then the streets filled up with members of the cartels.
She says they burnt a bank by her house and they sent messages saying if the government didn't release their members, they would begin attacking civilians.
Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes was better known as El Mencho, and he turned the Jalisco New Generation cartel into one of the most powerful organized crime groups in the world.
The US was offering a $15 million bounty for El Mencho, accusing his cartel of making billions of dollars by shipping fentanyl and cocaine to the US.
Mexico's defense ministry said El Mencho was injured during an operation to capture him in the state of Jalisco.
He died while being airlifted to Mexico City.
