The victim is accused of molesting one of Velasquez's relatives on a number of occasions. The man was released from custody after he was arrested.
The release is said to have prompted Velasquez's attempt at justice. Multiple members of the MMA family supported Velasquez if the rumors were true, per MMAJunkie.com.
The Mercury News story about marksmanship rings true in a very unfunny way, and details from a story by The Mercury News tell a more complete, complicated story.
“Velasquez followed 43-year-old Harry Goularte as he traveled Monday afternoon with his parents in a pickup truck from their San Martin home and through Morgan Hill, according to a criminal complaint and an accompanying San Jose police summary filed Wednesday. At one point, Velasquez shot at Goularte at least once near Butterfield Boulevard and Cochrane Road in Morgan Hill.”
A more aggressive chase ensued and Velasquez, traveling in his own pickup truck, caught up with the family near Monterey Road and Bailey Avenue in South San Jose at about 3:15 p.m., and rammed their vehicle before he fired several shots at them with a .40 caliber pistol, wounding Goularte’s stepfather in the arm and torso, according to authorities.
If true, how does the internet feel about the incident now? There is a lot of gray area to it, and it is a horrendous story.
The UFC fighter accidentally shoots the man's mother who is accused of molesting his relative, but the truth is often overlooked.
