The intended target in the Cain Velasquez shooting on Monday was a man who allegedly molested one of the UFC legend's family members ... TMZ Sports has confirmed.
Multiple sources tell us the person who Velasquez opened fire at near a school in San Jose, Calif. earlier this week was the man who was accused of repeatedly sexually abusing Cain's close relative.
We're told the man lived at a home that hosts a daycare where Cain's young family member attended. Sources say the man allegedly molested Velasquez's relative there, and was ultimately arrested and charged with one felony count of a lewd and lascivious act with a child under the age of 14 last week over the allegations.
