Former mixed martial arts champion Cain Velasquez's preliminary hearing has been pushed back.

The hearing was supposed to take place Monday, but it was pushed back due to new evidence.

Back in August, he pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and other charges.

Investigators say he shot into a pickup truck that was carrying a man accused of sexually assaulting one of Velasquez's young relatives. That man was unharmed, but another man riding in the truck was struck by the gunfire.

Authorities arrested Velasquez in Morgan Hill and has been held without bail.

This is a developing story.
