The order to fire on a Chinese house that turned Torreón into a massacre
In this episode, we trace the trajectory that led Benjamín Argumedo from tailor and saddlemaker to the man whose command is linked to the slaughter of 303 civilians in Torreón. We follow his rise through risky initiative in 1911, the capture of towns like Matamoros and Torreón, and the morning on 15 May when a false claim about a Chinese resident set events into motion; what explains the gap between the revolution’s promise and that day?
Person: Benjamín Argumedo Hernández
Date: 15 May 1911
Location: Torreón, Coahuila
Event: Massacre of 303 civilians
Occupation before revolution: tailor and saddlemaker
- Born in San Buenaventura, baptized in Matamoros, Argumedo had no land and worked as a skilled tradesman before joining the revolution.
- He fought under Sixto Ugalde and Enrique Adame Macías and took part in the capture of Matamoros on 9 February 1911.
- In April-May 1911 he led assaults on Parras, was promoted to Teniente Coronel commanding ~300 men, and helped push toward Torreón.
- At Torreón he began the siege without orders, a bold initiative that earned him the nickname "El León de la Laguna."
- Twelve days after Torreón fell, a false claim that a Chinese resident fired on soldiers preceded an order linked in the record to Argumedo that resulted in the killing of 303 people.
