Former UFC fighter and Gilroy resident Cain Velasquez was sentenced to five years in prison for a “vigilante shooting spree” that wounded an unintended target and fired bullets near a school crowded with children in Morgan Hill, the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office said. 

Velasquez, 42, was remanded into custody at the March 24 sentencing hearing, which was presided over by Judge Arthur Bocanegra, the DA’s office said in a press release.

During a high-speed chase on crowded streets in 2022, Velasquez fired a handgun multiple times at a truck carrying three people, including a man accused of molesting Velasquez’s relative, according to authorities.  

Last year, Velasquez pleaded guilty to attempted murder, felony assault charges and other related gun charges. 

“One man’s decision to take the law into his own hands left an innocent man wounded and endangered schoolchildren, teachers and many others in our community,” DA Jeff Rosen said. “If you want to do justice in Santa Clara County, please apply for a badge.”

Velasquez began shooting at the victims at a Morgan Hill intersection, authorities said. As the victims tried to flee, Velasquez rammed their vehicle and fired more rounds at them, striking the driver in the arm and right flank, severing his brachial artery, as they drove past the Charter School of Morgan Hill, which was letting out for the day. 

During the 11-mile, high-speed chase that followed into the busy streets of San Jose, Velasquez fired multiple rounds with his registered .40 handgun, the DA’s office said.

His target was uninjured in the attack, according to authorities. Velasquez was stopped and arrested by Morgan Hill police. 

A search of the suspect’s phone found searches for “sexual assault case where victims [sic] family fights back” and “sexual assault cases where victims [sic] family retaliates.”

Meanwhile, the intended victim, Harry Goularte, 46, continues to face pending felony child molestation charges, the DA’s office said. Goularte is out of custody after a judge released him on the supervised own recognizance release program with GPS monitoring over the DA’s objections.
