Nick Pasqual, an actor who appeared in “How I Met Your Mother,” has been found guilty of the attempted murder of L.A.-based makeup artist Allie Shehorn.
Following a jury trial, Pasqual was also convicted of counts of injuring a spouse or partner, first-degree burglary and rape, according to court documents.
The incident occurred in May 2024, when Pasqual repeatedly stabbed Shehorn, his ex-girlfriend, 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, the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office said.
At the time, Shehorn’s friends speculated that she had been stabbed more than 20 times. Following the attack, she underwent emergency surgery and spent 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,” and Shehorn worked as a makeup artist on movies including “Family Switch” and “Babylon.”
Prior to the stabbing, Shehorn had filed a restraining order against Pasqual, which detailed acts of sexual and physical assault.
Pasqual will be sentenced on June 2. He could face a maximum sentence of life in state prison.

He felt “very proud” at seeing reality star Kim, 45, wear it in New York this week.
The Brit garage owner was asked to do the “top-secret” breastplate paint job — and was only told it was for Kim when he finished.
He said he agreed to drop work after being approached at his auto repair shop on a Kent industrial estate by two local artists.
Martyn, who runs MPS Body & Paint, would not say what he charged — but it was “in the hundreds not the thousands”.
He added: “When I saw it, I felt very proud and honoured. I only had 24 hours to do it.”
The breastplate was co-created by Kent artists Patrick Whitaker and Keir Malem, who then went to Martyn after he had repaired their car a few years earlier.
The dad of two, who works at the auto business with sister Nicki Hill, 50, said: “It looked great, but it had imperfections and tiny air holes which I had to fill with stopper.

“It had mould lines which I had to smooth out, before re-priming it and rubbing it down. It then needed a base coat and a lacquer top coat.
“With drying times, it was a lengthy process, but I knew it had to be perfect. I worked all day on it until 8.30pm.
“It was kept hush-hush as they told me it was top secret.
“I thought it might be for Madonna or Gal Gadot given the design.

“When they collected it they finally told me it was for Kim Kardashian.”
Martyn said he knew the name but was more of a fan of her boyfriend, F1 great Sir Lewis Hamilton.
Meanwhile, Nicki discovered Kim would be at the Met Gala on Monday night — her daughter Elli-Jane’s 20th birthday.
“She stayed up to watch it and said: “I was falling asleep as it was late and Elli-Jane shouted, ‘Mum, mum she’s wearing it’.
“She was bouncing up and down with excitement and then I was quite emotional.”
Martyn, who had gone to bed, said his paint job looked “fantastic” when he saw photos the next day, and the reaction since has been “crazy”.
He would welcome similar work but added: “I don’t know many people who have got a breastplate really.”

“This b**ch wrapped herself in Kodak film,” added a second, complete with a laughing emoji.
“That is a cool dress and idea,” said a third.
“She DEFINITELY understood the assignment,” added a fourth.
While a fifth wrote: “Sabrina Carpenter’s dress is one of the most creative I’ve seen tonight. I love that.”

But not everyone was complimentary of her outfit, with some quick to share their critique.
“It’s classy but she could have done a whole lot better,” said one person.
“Boring as usual,” slammed a second.
While a third penned: “the dress itself is beautifully constructed but the choice of the film strips is lost on me and its connection to the theme/dress code?”
This comes off the back of Sabrina’s sensational headline concerts at Coachella last month.
The singer delivered a set dubbed “Sabrinawood” with a Hollywood-themed set across two weekends on April 10 and 17.
Her shows featured some very iconic cameos from the likes of Madonna, Susan Sarandon, Will Ferrell, and Sam Elliott.
The setlist highlighted her most recent album Man’s Best Friend, but also included some of her biggest hits like Espresso and Feather.
BAD Bunny looked unrecognizable as an old man at the Met Gala on Monday night.
The 32-year-old star arrived at the event with gray hair, a gray beard and a walking stick – leaving fans completely baffled.

The Puerto Rican rapper, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, even hobbled up the steps as he posed for photos, leaning into his elderly alter-ego even more.

Fans were entirely divided by the singer’s look, with many flocking to social media to share their thoughts.

“This isn’t Halloween honey,” slammed another.
“This looks more creepy than creative,” penned a third.
But there was much praise too, with one person writing: “Finally someone who understood the assignment Heidi didn’t just wear the theme she became the art. Living marble statue is insane commitment.”

Kylie, 28, stunned in a formfitting Schiaparelli strapless nude corset that pushed up her chest with cups that included nipples poking out.
The corset went down to her hips, where a long lace skirt draped down to her feet.
She completed her look with a diamond necklace and smokier glam makeup.
The mom-of-two rocked a side part with old Hollywood curls and a long piece of hair going over her forehead.
Timothee, 30, chose to skip the Met Gala red carpet but was just down the street at Madison Square Garden to support his beloved New York Knicks as the team competes in the NBA playoffs.
While his girlfriend was serving looks for the cameras, the Oscar-nominee was pictured court-side at tonight’s Knicks game against the Philadelphia 76ers for Game 1 of the conference semifinals.
Kylie, 28, has become one of the Met Gala’s most talked-about regulars however, it’s not always for the right reasons.
From her dazzling debut to viral backlash over a baseball cap on the red carpet, the beauty mogul has built a reputation for bold glam – and also for occasionally missing the theme entirely.

She made her Met Gala debut in 2016 in a heavily embellished silver gown by Balmain.
The futuristic look, complete with a blunt bob wig, instantly put her on the fashion map.
Fans praised the bold entrance, though some questioned whether the edgy look felt too mature at the time.
In 2017, Kylie stepped out in a sheer, feathered gown by Versace for the avant-garde Comme des Garçons-inspired theme.
Kylie returned in 2018 just months after welcoming her daughter, Stormi, wearing a sleek black gown by Alexander Wang.
The moment grabbed headlines – but not everyone was impressed.
Fans applauded her confidence, while others slammed the outfit as “underwhelming” and off-theme for the religious-inspired night.
Her 2019 look remains one of her most iconic.
Kylie stunned in a lavender feathered gown by Versace, complete with a matching purple wig, fully embracing the “camp” theme.
Fans were overall obsessed, with many still ranking it as her best-ever Met Gala moment.

Kylie leaned into romance at the 2024 gala with a sculptural, corseted gown featuring floral accents.
The feminine look was well received, though some critics said it lacked the wow factor of her earlier appearances.

Fans praised the fit – but others complained the style felt repetitive of her past red carpet choices.

The latest attack at a Jewish site in the UK capital occurs at Kenton United Synagogue and causes minor damage.
Published On 19 Apr 202619 Apr 2026
The United Kingdom’s Metropolitan Police are investigating whether a recent spate of arson attacks on Jewish sites in North London could be linked to Iranian proxies.
Counter Terrorism Policing is leading investigations into the incidents, the Met Police said on Sunday, after an arson attack at the Kenton United Synagogue in northwestern London occurred overnight.

There have been no injuries in the blazes, the latest of which caused minor damage.
Vicki Evans, deputy assistant commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, said most of the attacks have been claimed by the Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia group (Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right), often shortened to Ashab al-Yamin.
She said the group has also claimed several incidents at places of worship as well as business and financial institutions in Europe in recent months.
Evans said police were aware of “public reporting that this group may have links to Iran”.
She added that she has spoken before about Iran’s “routine uses of criminal proxies” and police were considering whether this tactic of “recruiting violence as a service” was being used in London.
Ashab al-Yamin emerged online in March and has claimed responsibility for several attacks on Jewish sites in Europe. It also claimed responsibility for an attack on the Persian-language Iran International news channel in London.
Recent arson incidents in London have included a bottle containing accelerant being thrown inside the Finchley Reform Synagogue in North London on Wednesday and Jewish-owned Hatzola ambulances being set alight in the car park of a synagogue in Golders Green on March 23. On Friday night, a man tried to light a bag containing three bottles of fluid outside the former premises of the Jewish Futures charity in Hendon.
The UK’s chief rabbi, Ephraim Mirvis, said the Kenton fire was the third “cowardly” attack on Jewish sites in the British capital in less than a week.
“A sustained campaign of violence and intimidation against the Jewish community of the UK is gathering momentum,” Mirvis said on X. “Thank God, no lives have been lost, but we cannot, and must not, wait for that to change before we understand just how dangerous this moment is for all of our society.”
Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he was “appalled” by the recent attacks at Jewish sites and those responsible would be brought to justice.
“This is abhorrent and it will not be tolerated. Attacks on our Jewish community are attacks on Britain,” he said in a post on X.
