On January 13, 1992, a worker from the first sector of Villa El Salvador was shot at the door of his home. This murder occurred in the context of an escalation of violence by the Shining Path PCP in the district, which sought to increase its control over neighborhood organizations through intimidation and selective assassinations of leaders and residents. Three days earlier, on February 10, an elderly watchman was murdered with a sign saying "This is how informers die", and on February 12, a neighborhood leader was shot at the door of his house, demonstrating a systematic pattern of terror.
