Retired mixed martial artist Cain Velasquez entered a 'not guilty' plea at his arraignment Monday on charges of attempted murder and more.
"I just feel blessed, ya know?" he said upon leaving the jail. "Ready to go home. Be with loved ones. Family. Make something positive of this whole situation…I love you all."
On Feb. 28, Velasquez chased after a truck carrying Harry Goularte, his mother, and stepfather from their home, starting a high-speed chase from Morgan Hill into South San Jose spanning 11 miles, according to authorities. Authorities also said Velasquez rammed into the Goulartes' truck twice before firing seven shots from a .40-caliber pistol.
Two shots struck 63-year-old Paul Bender, Goularte's stepfather, in his arm and torso. Bender was hospitalized but survived his gunshot injuries. Goularte's mother, Patty Goularte, owns the daycare where Velasquez's son was allegedly abused. Authorities arrested Goularte in February and released him on $50,000 bail some days later under the conditions he stays in home detention, away from children under 14, and wears an ankle bracelet.
