While him was not injured during the incident, his passenger suffered a gunshot wound.
The District Prosecutor of Santa Clara, Jeff Rosen, condemned Velasquez, stating: “The accused decided to become a judge, swound bench and kata. His actions threatened with innocent observers, including teenage children and their parents, who could be wounded or killed when he shot his intended sacrifice. We have an excellent right in this work.
Velasquez, currently 42 -year -old, recently competed in MMA in 2019, adding losses with a knockout for Francis Ngannou. Since then, sporadic performances in professional brewing have appeared, and he was recently announced a Global Fight League (GFL) coach. While his fighting career seems to be behind him, his judgment is a dramatic phrase in the heritage of the former master.
Meanwhile, it stands in June in June, ensuring that the case remains the subject of legal and public control. The transfer and judgment of Velasquez serve as caution about taking justice in their own hands, emphasizing the legal consequences of vigilance.
