Cain Velasquez, who fought in the UFC and briefly appeared in WWE and AAA, was released on parole after pleading no contest to attempted murder charges stemming from a 2022 shooting incident. He served 1,283 days, including time on house arrest, and was freed after 11 months behind bars.
Velasquez’s legal troubles followed a confrontation with Harry Goularte Jr., who had previously abused his son. While Velasquez was aiming to shoot Goularte, he struck the man's father instead. He is now pursuing a civil case against Goularte, while his wrestling career remains on hold.
