The unnamed individual, who ran a daycare where the alleged molestation was committed, was recently arrested on a charge of felony count of a lewd and lascivious act with a child under the age of 14, and was later released after arraignment, according to the same report.
His release allegedly caused Velasquez to target him in a shooting. It’s not clear at this time whether or not the reported victim of the shooting was the intended victim or not.
