Cain Velasquez has formally been charged for his role in a shooting incident.
Santa Clara County District Attorney announced Velasquez has been formally charged with 10 charges including 1st degree attempted murder, multiple counts of assault with a deadly weapon, and shooting an occupied motor vehicle. He will be arraigned on Wednesday afternoon.
Cain was arrested Monday on suspicion of attempted murder after he allegedly shot at a man who was recently charged with molesting a close relative of his. Velasquez’s shots wounded the defendant’s stepfather according to the DA.
TMZ obtained court documents and posted the following information:
Velasquez, who was driving a black Ford F-250, then allegedly began shooting into the Chevy Silverado driven by Harry Goularte's stepdad.
Authorities say Cain caught up to the car and rammed it, before eventually firing off more shots.
Cops were called, and Velasquez allegedly left the scene. Soon after, cops located Cain on the road, pulled him over and took him into custody without issue.
According to the docs, police found a 40-caliber semi-automatic handgun in Cain's truck. They also noted they found two 10-bullet magazines in the vehicle, noting that 8 total bullets were missing from the mags.
“The sad tragedy is that Mr. Velasquez chose to take the law into his own hands, endangering the public and everyone in the truck. This act of violence also causes more pain and suffering to his family," said Santa Clara County DA Jeff Rosen.
Fightful will provide more information on Velasquez' case as it is known.
