As we’ve been reporting here on eWn, former WWE and UFC Superstar Cain Velasquez was arrested on Monday after a shooting incident in San Jose, CA.
According to a report from TMZ Sports, Velasquez rammed his F-250 truck into a car and fired multiple shots. One of the people in the vehicle had been arrested just last week for molesting a “close relative” of Cain’s family. That person was under the age of 14. For some reason, the suspect (Harry Goularte) was released from jail and put on supervised release, despite being charged with 1 felony count of a lewd and lascivious act.
The police report noted that Velasquez wound up following the man, his mother, and stepfather from their San Martin, CA home on Monday afternoon. At some point during the chase, Velasquez began shooting into a Chevy Silverado that Goularte’s stepdad was driving. Velasquez also rammed the Silverado with his truck, and then eventually fled the scene.
Police later located Cain on the same road several miles away and arrested him without incident. When they searched his car, they found a 40-caliber semi-automatic handgun. Additionally, police found two 10-bullet magazines in the vehicle. One of the magazines had 8 bullets missing from it.
Velasquez is now facing 10 charges, including 1st degree attempted murder, several counts of assault with a deadly weapon, and shooting an occupied motor vehicle. He faces decades in prison if convicted.
