On July 24, 1986, at approximately 10:00 p.m., members of the Shining Path murdered Lucas Terris Acevedo, president of the Huayao community, stabbing him several times in the chest. At three o'clock in the morning, the military under the command of Lieutenant TRAIDO entered Huayao, taking the corpse. Then they went to the house of Simión Miguel Vargas, who only spoke Quechua and wanted to give his statement, but the soldiers shot him in the presence of 150 people. After this execution, the military threatened the villagers to kill them if they collaborated with Shining Path.
