Actor Nick Pasqual Convicted of Attempted Murder in 2024 Stabbing

He now faces a possible life sentence at a later sentencing hearing.

Overview

  • A Los Angeles jury on Friday found Pasqual guilty of attempted murder, first-degree residential burglary with a person present, and injuring a partner.
  • Prosecutors said he broke into makeup artist Allie Shehorn’s Sunland home in May 2024 and stabbed her about 20 times.
  • After the attack, authorities say he tried to reach Mexico before U.S. officers caught him at a Texas border checkpoint and returned him to California.
  • Shehorn had a restraining order in place before the stabbing and testified at trial, describing lasting damage that includes numbness in her hands and partial vision loss.
  • The district attorney condemned the attack and said victim services are engaged, as the court prepares to set a sentencing date that could bring a life term.
