The Crime and the Trial

On May 8, 2026, a Los Angeles jury convicted 36‑year‑old actor Nick Pasqual of attempted murder, first‑degree burglary, forcible rape, injuring a spouse or partner, and related charges stemming from a May 2024 attack on his ex‑girlfriend, makeup artist Allie Shehorn . Prosecutors presented evidence that Pasqual broke into Shehorn’s home in the Shadow Hills neighborhood in the early hours and stabbed her multiple times, inflicting more than 20 wounds. Shehorn survived after enduring approximately 14 hours of emergency surgery .

Victim’s Testimony and Abuse History

Allie Shehorn testified that the relationship had turned abusive well before the attack, prompting her to file a restraining order against Pasqual . According to court records, Pasqual had been released on $50,000 bail just five days before the attack and went after Shehorn immediately thereafter . In the courtroom, Shehorn recounted a chilling incident in which Pasqual aggressively tried to force entry, leading her to flee and barricade herself in the bathroom—only to be followed and viciously attacked .
