Overview
- A Los Angeles jury, which delivered its verdict Friday, found Pasqual guilty of attempted murder, forcible rape, first-degree burglary, and multiple counts of injuring a partner, and it affirmed two special allegations.
- The June 2 hearing in Los Angeles will weigh jury findings of great bodily injury and weapon use that can increase punishment under California law, up to life in state prison.
- Prosecutors said Pasqual broke into Allie Shehorn’s Sunland home around 4:30 a.m. on May 23, 2024 and stabbed her more than 20 times, even though she had secured a restraining order days earlier.
- After the attack, authorities say he fled toward Mexico and was detained at a U.S.–Mexico border checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, Texas about a week later before being returned to California.
- Shehorn survived after extensive, life‑saving and reconstructive surgeries and nearly a week in intensive care, and she testified with visible scars about the abuse and the attack.
