NEW YORK -- Hundreds cheered and shouted "Macho" when Hector Camacho's coffin was carried out and loaded into a hearse after his New York City funeral.
On Saturday, about 300 people mourned in the stately East Harlem church that the former world champion boxer attended as a boy.
Camacho was fatally wounded in a Nov. 20 shooting in Puerto Rico. He was 50. Police continue to investigate.
The Rev. Frank Skelly remembered Camacho as a child and says that's how God knows him.
St. Cecilia's Roman Catholic Church was about half-filled. Hundreds more waited behind police barricades across the street.
Camacho is to be buried after the service at St. Raymond's Cemetery in the Bronx.
