Three-time world boxing champion Hector "Macho" Camacho died this weekend, four days after he was shot in the face in a drive-by shooting. He was 50.

Camacho was taken off life support following a second heart attack on Saturday. He had been declared brain dead on Thursday after being shot in a car on Tuesday in the San Juan suburb of Bayamon, his birthplace.
