Latest developments have emerged in the Cain Velasquez shooting case, indicating the targeted man was accused of molesting his relative
As the 48 hours of Cain Velasquez’s arrest following a shooting charge comes close, new developments have emerged in the case that suggest the shot man was accused of molesting Velasquez’s relative.
In accordance with a report from San Jose Mercury News, Velasquez was presumably firing at a man, who was recently charged with molesting a “close relative” of Velasquez. 43-year-old Harry Eugene Goularte was charged with one felony count of an obscene and lecherous 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.
Emmy award-winning reporter for NBC Bay Area, Damian Trujillo posted a mugshot of Velasquez on Twitter, with the caption,
“BREAKING: We may now have a motive.

Ever since new developments from the Cain Velasquez case have emerged, several UFC fighters have voiced their support for the former UFC heavyweight champion.
The following day of Velasquez’s arrest, a report from The San Jose Mercury-News disclosed that Velasquez shot at a car comprising three individuals – including 43-year-old Harry Eugene Goularte, who had recently been accused of molesting a close relative.
Since then several UFC fighters have expressed their support for Cain on Twitter and also set in motion the ‘Free Cain’ movement.
