Nick Pasqual, the actor who starred in "How I Met Your Mother," has been found guilty of attempting to murder L.A.-based makeup artist Allie Shehorn. Following a jury trial, Pasqual was also convicted of charges including injuring a spouse or partner, first-degree burglary, and rape, according to court documents.
The incident occurred in May 2024, when Pasqual repeatedly stabbed his ex-girlfriend, Shehorn, in her Shadow Hills home. Prosecutors claimed that he broke into her home, attacked her with a knife, and fled California. Pasqual was later stopped by authorities at a border checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, Texas, as reported by the Los Angeles County district attorney's office.
At the time of the attack, Shehorn's friends speculated that she had been stabbed more than 20 times. Following the incident, she underwent emergency surgery and spent several days in intensive care.
The pair first met on the set of Zack Snyder's film "Rebel Moon." Pasqual worked as a background actor with credits including "How I Met Your Mother" and "Archive 81," while Shehorn worked as a makeup artist on movies such as "Family Switch" and "Babylon."
Prior to the stabbing, Shehorn had filed a restraining order against Pasqual, detailing acts of sexual and physical assault. On June 2, Pasqual will be sentenced and could face a maximum sentence of life in state prison. The court's decision has left the community in shock and has sparked widespread discussion about the importance of taking domestic violence seriously.
