A small group of Jews from Zatishnoye were taken by truck to the vicinity of the village of Zlatoustovka, some five kilometers from Zatishnoye. They were then shot in a ravine in the vicinity of Zlatoustovka. Apparently, this killing action was carried out at about the same time as the shooting in the barn near Zatishnoye, although there are no direct references to it. According to some testimonies, the group consisted of nine people. In addition to that, some sources mention a Jewish family from Zatishnoye who had apparently remained in hiding in Zlatoustovka during the occupation. The family was shot shortly before the liberation of the village, probably at the same murder site, but no firm information about this has come to light.

Those Jews of Zatishnoye who had failed to evacuate were shot on October 12-13, 1941. According to Soviet reports, they were taken to a barn – or, as some testimonies say, to a horse stable – in the vicinity of Zatishnoye, where they were shot by the Germans with submachine guns. The shooting was carried out in the daytime. The victims were women, children of various ages, and elderly people. After the shooting, their bodies were buried by local residents in the vegetable gardens. A total of ninety-five people were shot in Zatishnoye, including seventy-two Jews from the village itself and twenty-three Jews from elsewhere (apparently from Khlebodarovka).
