He was a member of the prestigious group called the Free Legal Assistance Group or FLAG, the oldest and largest group of human rights lawyers in the country.

On October 22, 1987, Bueno was assassinated by two men on a motorcycle wearing fatigue uniforms – considered to be part of a wave of assassinations that included the murder of activist Lean Alejandro and labor leader Rolando Olalia. This coincided with the 1986-87 coup d'etat that tried to remove Corazon Aquino from power following the 1986 People Power Revolution.{{cite book|publisher=Routledge|title=The Politics of NGOs in Southeast Asia|year=2006|first=Gerard|last=Clarke}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.bantayog.org/a-tribute-to-human-rights-lawyer-david-bueno-1988/|title=A Tribute to Human Rights Lawyer David Bueno (1988)|date=August 19, 2015}}
