The men who allegedly murdered Hector “Macho” Camacho in 2012 reportedly will finally face trial.
DailyMail.com is reporting that three suspects were extradited from the U.S. mainland to Puerto Rico, where the former world champion was killed. They will appear in court Wednesday.
A television station in Puerto Rican identified two of the men at Jesus Naranjo and Joshua Mendez. The name of the third defendant wasn’t revealed.
Camacho was sitting next to a friend in the passenger seat of a parked car when he was shot in the face on Nov. 20, 2012 in Bayamon. He died four days later in a San Juan hospital. The friend, Adrian Mojica, died at the scene.
Mojica evidently was targeted. The defendants allegedly intended to kill him and take several kilos of cocaine from the car, DailyMail.com reported.
The defendants were taken into custody several days after the murders. They weren’t charged until now because a witness refused to testify. Another witness has come forward, which led to the pending trial.
Naranjo and Mendez have been in prison in the U.S. for some time on other convictions.
