Sidronio avenged his father by shooting Eufemio in the abdomen. He then threw his still-living victim on an anthill. This event earned him the nickname "''el loco Sidronio''" ("the crazy Sidronio").

Eufemio Zapata
Eufemio Zapata Salazar (1873, Ciudad Ayala - June 18, 1917, Cuautla, Morelos) was a participant in the Mexican Revolution and the brother of Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata. He was known as a womanizer, a macho man, and a very heavy drinker. Eufemio Zapata was assassinated by General Sidronio Camacho on June 18, 1917 in Cuautla. This happened after, allegedly, Camacho argued that Eufemio had beaten his father - which would be illogical since Don Gabriel died around 1895. Historian Édgar Castro Zapata has made some statements about the death of General Eufemio to remove the legend that overshadows the murder and makes him look like an angry and alcoholic man who beat elderly merchants for pleasure. In this way, Castro Zapata affirms that a fact that marked the death of Eufemio Zapata was the knowledge of a telegram in which Colonel Sidronio Camacho and General Napoleón Caballero were invited to join the Carrarcista ranks and betray the Zapatista movement.
