López (40-12, 23 KO) hadn't lost a fight since 2005, going on a 16-fight win streak over that time, and a lot of the guys he's beaten are warriors.[3][4]

It was reported that he was travelling with a passenger just before midnight, when his truck was attacked by bullets. Lopez died immediately before the police arrived.
