Marcos de La Cruz Quispe, a rondero from the district of Acobambilla, was murdered by PCP-Sendero Luminoso militants on November 11, 1984. This murder occurred two days after the PCP-SL executed a teacher, the municipal agent and the district governor of Acobambilla, who were also accused of being 'informers'. The murder of De La Cruz Quispe is part of the Shining Path's strategy of eliminating members of the peasant patrols who opposed their presence in the area. This event occurred in the context of the organization of counter-subversive peasant patrols promoted by the Army since 1984 in the province of Huancavelica.
