Héctor Luís Camacho Matías (May 24, 1962 – November 24, 2012), commonly known by his nickname "Macho" Camacho, was a Puerto Rican professional boxer and entertainer. Known for his quickness in the ring and flamboyant style,[Camacho competed professionally from 1980 to 2010
On Nov. 20, 2012, Macho and a childhood friend were shot while sitting in a car outside a strip mall in Bayamón. Authorities reportedly found nine bags of cocaine in the vehicle. The friend died immediately, while Macho — with a bullet lodged in his shoulder and restricting blood flow to his brain — was rushed to a hospital. For a while, doctors thought he might recover but be paralysed. But the boxer couldn’t pull through to a victory this time; he suffered a cardiac arrest that left him brain-dead and was removed from life support.
Sean & Johnston document the rise and fall of "The Pride Of Spanish Harlem" and discover the justice that has been done a long ten years after Camacho's untimely demise.
