Murder of Special Projects leader

A leader of the housing association 'Proyectos Especiales' was assassinated on April 29, 1992 in San Juan de Lurigancho. The crime was part of a series of selective assassinations against neighborhood leaders carried out by the PCP-SL in the district.

On April 29, 1992, a leader of the housing association 'Proyectos Especiales' was assassinated in the intermediate zone of the district of San Juan de Lurigancho. This assassination occurred in the context of a wave of violence against neighborhood leaders in the district during April 1992. The attack took place one day before the assassination of Juan Crisóstomo Casasola Zavala, former leader of the housing association 'Canto Grande'. These assassinations were part of the PCP-SL's subversive logic of taking over political spaces in the peripheral zones of the city, as part of its strategy of 'strategic balance'.
