Santa Clara County Attorney (California, USA) Jeff Rosen confirmed that the former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez charged with attempted murder.

“The tragedy is that Mr. Velasquez decided to take justice into his own hands, endangered public safety and the lives of those in the car. This act of violence will cause even more suffering and pain to his family,” prosecutor MMAjunkie was quoted as saying.

Earlier, American media reported that 39-year-old Velasquez opened fire on a car in which there was a suspect in molesting his close relative. At the same time, the athlete missed and hit the alleged pedophile's stepfather.

Velázquez faces a prison term of 20 years to life in prison if found guilty.
