Cain Velasquez Issues First Statement Since His Arrest In February

Cain Velasquez has issued his first statement since he was charged with 1st-degree attempted murder, among other charges.

Velasquez was involved in a shooting on February 28, 2022, as he allegedly shot at a man who was charged with molesting one of his close relatives. The former WWE star was subsequently charged with 1st-degree attempted murder, shooting an occupied motor vehicle, and multiple counts of assault with a deadly weapon, among 10 total charges.

On April 12, Velasquez took to Twitter to issue a statement; he thanked everyone for their support.

The statement is as follows:

To everyone that has expressed your support, my family and I will never be able to thank you enough. From the bottom of our hearts and the depths of our souls, we are forever grateful for your love. Your selfless gestures and kind words have given me strength in my darkest times. This story is complex and slowly unraveling as we speak. To the true victims of this case, may God give you the strength to come forward. Though it is most difficult to relive the pain that has happened to you, in speaking the truth, justice will be served and your own true healing will start. I will never stop helping or loving my community and all of you. Thank you for giving me love
