Shooting:
Former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez has been arrested on suspected attempted murder by the Santa Clara Department of Corrections facility after an alleged shooting incident in Morgan Hill, California that left one man hospitalised with non-life-threatening injuries on Monday.
“Units are currently at the scene of a shooting near the intersection of Monterey Hwy and Bailey Ave. One adult male shot at least once transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries,” San Jose police wrote on Twitter at the time of the shooting.
Family:
“One suspect in custody. Unknown motive or circumstances. Please avoid the area as we conduct our investigation. “Traffic will be impacted in both directions on Monterey Hwy for several hours,” the statement added.
Mugshot:
Police have not released the circumstances or motive but said one man was shot and taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, and Velasquez was arrested.
Velasquez was booked into the Santa Clara County jail on suspicion of attempted murder and is being held on no bail, police said Tuesday. A motive is still under investigation.
The former UFC heavyweight champion and wrestling star was born in Salinas and lives in the South Bay.
Arrest:
Per a report from San Jose Mercury News, Velasquez was allegedly firing at a man, 43-year-old Harry Eugene Goularte, who was recently charged with molesting a “close relative” of Velasquez.
Specifically, Goularte was charged with one felony count of a lewd and lascivious act with a child under the age of 14. Since the child is a minor and reported sex abuse victim, the details regarding the child’s name and relationship to Velasquez are being kept private. Court documents also revealed the abuse may have been extensive.
