Former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez was formally charged Wednesday
with attempted premeditated murder and multiple gun assault charges in relation
to a shooting Monday night in San Jose, California, according to a Santa Clara
County District Attorney's Office news release.

Velasquez, 39, is accused of targeting Harry Eugene Goularte, who is charged
with allegedly molesting one of Velasquez's young relatives. Velasquez faces 10
counts that could carry more than 20 years of jail time if he is convicted, per
a court document.

According to the district attorney's office, Velasquez was following Goularte's
truck in his own vehicle during an "11-mile, high-speed chase" though San Jose,
rammed the truck and then fired a 40-caliber handgun multiple times into the
truck, which carried Goularte and two older relatives. Goularte's 63-year-old
stepfather, Paul Bender, was struck once in his arm and torso but is expected to
survive, court documents said.

"The sad tragedy is that Mr. Velasquez chose to take the law into his own hands,
endangering the public and everyone in the truck," Santa Clara County DA Jeff
Rosen said in a statement. "This act of violence also causes more pain and
suffering to his family."

Velasquez was found and arrested afterward during a traffic stop, according to
court documents. He is charged with attempted murder; shooting at an occupied
motor vehicle or aircraft; three counts of assault with a firearm; three counts
of assault with a deadly weapon; willfully discharging a firearm from a vehicle;
and carrying a loaded firearm with intent to commit a felony.

Velasquez's scheduled arraignment Wednesday was continued until Monday morning,
when there will also be a bail hearing. He is being held without bail at the
Santa Clara County Main Jail North.



According to court documents, Goularte, who was not injured in the incident, is
accused of a lewd or lascivious act upon a child under age 14.

Goularte, 43, was released from custody Feb. 25 without bail against the DA's
orders, according to the statement from the DA's office. He was ordered to stay
in home detention, remain 100 yards away from any child under 14 and wear an
electronic monitoring bracelet, which he was allegedly on his way to obtaining
when Velasquez gave chase.



The child, who is under 10, told an officer from the Santa Clara County
Sheriff's Office on Feb. 24 that Goularte took him into the bathroom of a
daycare center and touched the child's genitals, per a court document obtained
by ESPN. The child said Goularte said not to tell anyone what happened and that
this had occurred "100 times." In the court document, the child said he
witnessed other kids go into the bathroom with Goularte as well.

Goularte denied any wrongdoing, saying he once helped a child with his pants
when he saw the child didn't have them on correctly. Goularte lives in the same
building as the daycare center, which is owned by his mother, according to the
court document. Goularte's mother told police she did not believe the
allegations against her son.

Velasquez is a former two-time UFC heavyweight champion and regarded as one of
the best heavyweight fighters of all time. He retired from MMA in 2019 and had a
brief stint in WWE before being released at the onset of the coronavirus
pandemic in 2020. Velasquez has been coaching at his longtime American
Kickboxing Academy gym in San Jose.
