Cain Velasquez Released on Parole, Explores Post-Release Breathwork Seminar

He begins four years of supervised parole following a five-year sentence tied to a 2022 freeway shooting.

Overview

  • Velasquez announced on Instagram that he would be released on February 15 and is gauging interest in a one-day Holotropic Breathing seminar in the San Jose area.
  • The proposed in-person event is described as a paid, limited-capacity session featuring guided breathwork, a meet-and-greet, a Q&A, and group discussion.
  • His release comes earlier than a previously listed potential March 2026 date under an agreement that imposed five years in prison and four years of supervised parole.
  • Velasquez’s case stems from a 2022 high-speed chase during which he fired into a vehicle carrying Harry Goularte Jr., injuring Goularte’s stepfather and leading to charges including attempted murder.
  • Goularte’s criminal trial on a lewd-acts charge is scheduled to start March 9, 2026, and a civil lawsuit brought by Velasquez’s family remains active.
