Caín Velasquez, an American professional wrestler and retired mixed martial artist appearing for Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, is currently under custody after his shooting.

His experience in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, where he participated in the heavyweight class and won the title of UFC Heavyweight Champion twice, is well-known amongst his fans and audience.

After getting into a car chase and allegedly shooting at a guy who was thought to have abused Velasquez’s 4-year-old relative, missing the man and hitting the man’s father instead, he was charged in March 2022 with attempted murder and further firearm assault charges.

Who Is Cain Velasquez Daughter?

Cain Velasquez is currently married to his long-time partner Michelle. The lovely couple has two children, a son and a daughter.

His daughter was born in 2009, nine years before the birth of his baby boy. The fighter shares many photos and posts of his daughter on all his social media.

Reports suggest that it was his daughter who Harry Goularte molested.

According to The Dailymail, Attorney Rosen said. The unfortunate reality is that Mr. Velasquez decided to break the law on his own, putting everyone in the vehicle and the general public in peril. This violent deed also adds to his family’s anguish and pain.

What Happened To Cain Velasquez? Arrest And Story Details

Cain Velasquez is said to have pursued Harry Goularte in the Bay Area in late February. According to the police, Velasquez followed Goularte’s parents one time as they were going to pick him up, followed the three of them for a while, and then fired one shot at their car.

The 40-year-old is then said to have slammed his vehicle into theirs and fired more shots, striking Goularte’s stepfather in the arm and torso before fleeing the scene, covering nearly eleven kilometers during the chase.

As per Yahoo.com, Goularte, 43, is accused of touching the child’s genitalia “100 times” with Velasquez’s relative in a restroom at the daycare center that his mother manages. After his arrest, Goularte was freed, and he has denied these allegations.

The 39-year-old Velasquez was “reckless,” according to Judge Shelyna Brown, when he reportedly shot at a guy accused of assaulting the youngster. However, she also stated that the “risk is too severe” to release him on bond.

More than 100 supporters of the former UFC fighter turned up outside the courthouse in Santa Clara County, California, sporting T-shirts that read “Free Cain.”

According to a statement released Wednesday by the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were called to a San Marin daycare run by Goularte’s mother last month over allegations of sexual abuse involving a kid.

Cain is then said to have slammed his vehicle into theirs and fired more shots, striking Goularte’s stepfather.

The fighter has been denied bail twice and is charged with ten additional firearms crimes. As a result, Velasquez might spend more than 20 years behind bars.

Since his arrest, Dana White, the president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, and athletes like Khabib Nurmagomedov, Daniel Cormier, and Henry Cejudo have all expressed their support for the former UFC heavyweight champion.

According to MMA Junkie, there is a dispute between The former UFC champion’s attorneys and the prosecution on how to include Goularte’s case in the trial.

Due to the ongoing nature of the investigation, the district attorney only wants a portion of it to be mentioned at Velasquez’s trial.
