Nick Pasqual Convicted in Allie Shehorn Stabbing Case
Nick Pasqual was found guilty on Friday in the allie shehorn case, with a San Fernando jury convicting the 36-year-old actor of attempted murder after the May 23, 2024 stabbing at her Sunland home. The verdict also covered first-degree residential burglary with person present and injuring a spouse, cohabitant, fiancé, boyfriend, girlfriend or child's parent.
Sunland verdict for Pasqual
The conviction turns a case that began with a domestic violence arrest on May 18, 2024 into a jury finding tied directly to the attack on Shehorn, a Hollywood makeup artist. Pasqual was later released on $50,000 bond, and Shehorn's friend Jed Dornoff said, “as soon as he paid his bail, he came after her.”
Shehorn took the stand with scars on her neck and arms. She said, “I locked the door and he just started punching holes in that door and broke that open,” and then, “I just ran into the bathroom because I thought there's another lock on that door.” Those details connect the verdict to the mechanics of the attack, not just the charge sheet.
Shehorn’s injuries and rescue
Shehorn suffered injuries to her throat, back, chest and wrists. The Los Angeles Times reported that Pasqual stabbed her an estimated 20 times, and she later underwent 14 hours of surgery before spending multiple days in the intensive care unit.
Christine White found Shehorn after the attack and told The Los Angeles Times, “I just told her to keep her hand on her throat to stop the bleeding.” That line captures how narrow the margin was between the attack and her survival, and why the jury’s verdict carries weight beyond a single criminal case.
June 2 sentencing hearing
Pasqual allegedly fled California after the attack and was detained at the United States/Mexico border in Sierra Blanca, Texas. His sentencing hearing was scheduled for Tuesday, June 2, leaving the case at the punishment stage after the guilty verdict.
For Shehorn, the trial outcome closes one chapter but not the physical one; her testimony and the medical record now sit at the center of what the court will weigh next.
