Actor Nick Pasqual Convicted of Attempted Murder in 2024 Stabbing Case

Nick Pasqual, an actor who appeared on How I Met Your Mother and in Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon, has been convicted on charges including attempted murder following the 2024 stabbing of his estranged girlfriend, Los Angeles-based makeup artist Allie Shehorn.

A jury found Pasqual guilty on all counts after a trial that began on April 27, 2024 and concluded on May 24, 2024, according to Entertainment Weekly, which cited court records. Pasqual, who appeared in a 2011 episode of the CBS sitcom, had pleaded not guilty at the start of the proceedings.

Charges and Convictions

The jury convicted Pasqual of the following charges:

• Attempted murder with special allegations that the attack caused great bodily injury in a domestic violence case involving a weapon.
• Three counts of injuring a spouse or partner.
• One count of first-degree burglary.
• One count of forcible rape, linked to an alleged incident that occurred one month before the stabbing.

Pasqual is scheduled to be sentenced on June 2, 2024 in Los Angeles. He faces a possible life sentence in state prison.

Victim’s Testimony

During testimony last week, Shehorn described fleeing into a bathroom after Pasqual allegedly forced his way into her home.

“I locked the door and he just started punching holes in that door and broke that open, and I just ran into the bathroom because I thought there’s another lock on that door.”

According to ABC Eyewitness News 7, Shehorn testified that Pasqual repeatedly attacked her, leaving her with severe injuries.

KTLA reported that Shehorn was stabbed more than 20 times during the assault. A GoFundMe campaign launched by friends following the attack stated that she required breathing and feeding tubes during her recovery.

Background and Restraining Order

Authorities previously stated that Shehorn had obtained a restraining order against Pasqual before the attack, alleging the relationship had become abusive.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office reported in 2024 that Pasqual fled the scene and was later detained at a U.S.-Mexico border checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, Texas.
