Hector "Macho" Camacho, 50, grew up mostly in New York's Harlem neighborhood, earning the nickname ''the Harlem Heckler.'' Holding world titles in several divisions, Camacho had a career record of 79-6-3. In this 1991 photo, he gives the peace sign during the fight between Julio Cesar Chavez and Lonnie Smith at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Camacho was shot Nov. 20 as he and a friend sat in a car outside the bar. He was pronounced dead on Nov. 24 after doctors removed him from life support at his family's direction.

On Jan. 29, 1994, Camacho took on Felix Trinidad, holder of the welterweight title. Camacho lost the fight, one of his many high-profile bouts.
