    They found pre packaged drugs in his car, so yes it was some sort of drug deal gone bad.

    That's my impression, a drug deal gone bad. I was shocked when I heard Camacho was dead, but when I heard it was drug related, I just figured, '**** Camacho'.

    I think it was a drug deal that didn't go well. Drugs were found in the car and it was outside of a shady looking bar.

    When I heard of his death my first thought was who gives a ****? He was racist Puerto Rican known for calling blacks the n word. I don't give a **** that he was killed.

    That's messed up, from what I could see, his mother is black.Men's Journal has an article on him, it seems that the lady he was messing with, her ex, or some guy she knew, Camacho had hit and warned off.But I definitely feel it was drugged related.

    Most people who had met Hector didnt care much for him. Personally I thought he was an *******.

    ...well how out of the ordinary do you think it was for Camacho's car to be parked outside a shady bar with drugs in it?

    Its sad and a shame what drugs can do to a man, Camacho was a great talent and fighter and its a shame he went out that way

    It wasn't out of the ordinary at all. He was a wild man who lived his life constantly dealing with shady people in shady places and while being involved in shady situations.

    It was only a matter of time before someone blew him away.
