The massacre was a reprisal action for the assassination of two German officers including Joseph Beck carried out by Soviet partisans. Germans ordered arrests and execution of local Poles, with over 1,200 fatalities among the local Polish populace over the next few days. The reprisals have been carried out by the [[Lithuanian Security Police]] under the command of [[Jonas Maciulevičius]].<ref name="Piotrowski1998"></ref> Maciulevičius has been executed in Poland in 1950. In early 2000s Polish [[Institute of National Remembrance]] reinvestigated the crime, and concluded that no other living perpetrators of this crime remain identified and alive, closing the investigation in 2005.<ref name=":0" />
