The strikebreakers and strikers exchanged insults, leading to the strikers throwing rocks at the strikebreakers’ truck. Bayani Advincula then grabbed a .22 caliber rifle and fired into the crowd. Juan de la Cruz saved his wife Maximina’s life by pushing her down to the ground, but he was struck below the heart by one of five bullets fired. He died at the age of 60 years old. Daifullah’s funeral had ten thousand people and de la Cruz’s had six thousand people. After the funerals, C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez told the strikers that the Executive Board unanimously voted to suspend the strike and that the strikers’ contracts would be won back through the ballot and boycott. The strikers wanted to continue to fight on the picket line.
