Velasquez was initially denied bail after a judge determined his behavior was “reckless.” Velasquez was denied bail a total of three times before being granted bail on Tuesday.
Velasquez was chasing down a man he believed had molested his 4-year-old daughter. The former MMA fighter fired a gun and shot the man’s father, who was also in the car.
Now 40, Velasquez has to pay $1 million bail in order to leave jail and head home. Velasquez is a former two-time UFC Heavyweight Champion.
