PHOTOS: Oh No! Hector “Macho” Camacho Shot In The Face In Puerto Rico

Camacho, a famed Puerto Rican boxer who grew up in Harlem, NY, was shot as he and his friend were sitting in a parked vehicle outside of a bar.  Police say that his friend, 49-year-old Adrian Mojica Moreno, was killed in the fire and was found with nine small bags of coke.  Another bag of cocaine was found open inside of the car.

Family members of the 50-year-old champ are expected to pull the plug from Camacho’s life support very soon. His aunt, Aida Camacho, spoke on Thursday about laying the fighter to rest. “I’m a person of a lot of faith, and I believe in miracles, but science has spoken,” she said. Another aunt, Blanca Camacho, also confirmed the boxer’s fatal condition saying “there’s nothing left here. He’s already dead.”

The legendary fighter held a career record of 79-6-3, however he struggled with drugs and addiction throughout his life.  

This is so sad that Macho’s life will come to such a tragic end.
