( CNN ) -- Famed boxer Hector Camacho died after he was taken off life support early Saturday , a hospital spokeswoman in Puerto Rico told CNN . A passing gunman on Tuesday shot Camacho , who was in a car in front of a bar in his hometown of Bayamon , Puerto Rico . He was declared clinically brain dead on Thursday and placed on life support . Camacho , 50 , suffered a heart attack and had been taken off life support , said Wilmelis Marquez , spokeswoman for the Rio Piedras Medical Center . He was pronounced dead at 1:45 a.m. , she said . She said his organs were not healthy enough to be donated . Camacho , a former lightweight and junior lightweight champion , was in the passenger seat of the car , police said . The driver was shot twice and killed , they said . The suspects are two men believed to have been traveling in a gray vehicle , said Lt. Wilfredo Rivera of CataÃ±o Police . They escaped after a shootout with police at a residential complex , WAPA TV reported . Investigators continued to search Saturday for the two suspects , said Alex Diaz , spokesman for the Puerto Rico Police Department in the Bayamon division . Authorities found nine bags of cocaine on the slain driver , who had a long history of drug-related charges and was Camacho 's friend , Diaz said . Police also found one opened bag of cocaine inside the car , Diaz said . Camacho was considered a promoter 's godsend because he was a showman in the ring against some of the greatest fighters of his era : Sugar Ray Leonard , Roberto Duran , Oscar de la Hoya , Julio Cesar Chavez , Felix Trinidad and Vinny Pazienzia . He was known for long , flashy trunks with tassels , and he enjoyed being theatrical , as evidenced by his `` Macho '' nickname . His flamboyance was as dazzling as his hand-and-foot speed , and his titles and victories attested to his talent . A southpaw , he won world titles in the classes of super lightweight , lightweight and junior welterweight in the 1980s . He amassed a record of 79 victories , six losses and three draws . Among his high-profile bouts was his 1997 knockout of Leonard , ending his comeback effort . But the same year , Camacho lost to de la Hoya . His most recent fight was in 2010 , when he was well past his prime and his life was being marked by drug , alcohol and marital problems . He lost that bout to Saul Duran . Camacho was born in Bayamon and was raised in New York after his family moved to Spanish Harlem . In 2005 , he was arrested in Mississippi on charges of trying to rob an electronics store and possession of the drug ecstasy . He was later given probation . This year , Camacho was ordered by a Florida court not to have contact with his ex-wife 13-year-old son after allegations that Camacho had attacked the boy . His survivors include another son who is also a boxer , Hector `` Machito '' Camacho Jr. Obituaries 2012 : The lives they 've lived .
