On November 4, 1989, a column of the Shining Path PCP raided Misquipata, in the context of a wave of violence that hit the region during the month of November, considered the bloodiest of that year in the area. In this attack, the PCP-SL killed the wife of a policeman. This was part of a systematic strategy of the subversive organization to attack relatives of members of law enforcement and local authorities in order to spread terror in the communities.
