The shooters have not been found.
“There were many bags of cocaine in the car”. That pretty much says it all.
Sad loss for his family and friends. Hope they catch the bsatards that did it.
He was a good fighter til he got too much of the high life. A true showman.
I knew Hector Camacho. He used to frequent the Quiet Cannon in Montebello California back in the early 1980’s. I would talk to him there. He was a very articulate person and a great boxer. God blessed
us all with a great showman.
Just really too bad.
