"How I Met Your Mother" Actor Convicted of Attempted Murder

Los Angeles, CA - Actor Nick Pasqual, known for his minor role in the sitcom "How I Met Your Mother," has been convicted of attempted murder. A jury found Pasqual guilty of multiple charges, including injuring a spouse or partner, first-degree burglary, and rape. The convictions stem from a May 2024 incident where Pasqual attacked makeup artist Allie Shehorn, his ex-girlfriend.

According to court documents, Pasqual broke into Shehorn's home and repeatedly stabbed her. Following the attack, he fled the state but was apprehended by authorities at a border checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, Texas. Shehorn underwent emergency surgery and spent several days in intensive care following the assault.

The pair reportedly met on the set of Zack Snyder's film "Rebel Moon." Pasqual, who also had credits in "Archive 81," worked as a background actor, while Shehorn worked as a makeup artist on films such as "Family Switch" and "Babylon." Prior to the attack, Shehorn had obtained a restraining order against Pasqual, citing previous instances of sexual and physical assault.

Pasqual's sentencing is scheduled for June 2. He faces a potential maximum sentence of life in state prison.

BNN's Perspective: This case highlights the devastating consequences of domestic violence and the importance of taking restraining orders seriously. The severity of the charges and the potential sentence underscore the gravity of the crimes committed. It also serves as a stark reminder of the need for resources and support for victims of domestic abuse.
