Murder of Valerio Flores in Oronqoy

In 1982, a group of vigilantes along with police officers conducted raids in the 'Oreja de perro' area between 1982 and 1983, warning the villagers not to ally with the PCP-SL. During one of these raids, they entered Oronqoy, considered a support base for the PCP-SL. They gathered the entire community in the plaza and in front of them they assassinated Valerio Flores, who was identified as the leader of the subversive group in the town. This assassination was part of the early repressive actions against the Shining Path presence in the region.
