During the aftermath of the Cain Velasquez arrest, a rumor started circulating the web that he was tracking down an alleged sex offender from his child’s daycare facility.
According to the report, the alleged offender was driving in his car with his dad when Cain tracked him down. Velasquez would go on to shoot the man’s father while firing shots at the vehicle.
I’m told Cain fired at least 3 times. I don’t know if he got the 2 men confused. I don’t know if all shots were fired at the same person. Or at both and only one landed.

Yes. I heard the same. Cain found out of the release and what happened, happened. The abuse I referenced is of a sexual nature. https://t.co/52nWjOMrfh
