Liv Morgan’s Stalker Case Takes New Twist

The case involving an alleged stalker of WWE star Liv Morgan has taken its latest twist, potentially delaying a trial.

On June 3rd, an individual was arrested at the WWE Performance Center following claims they had been stalking Liv Morgan. The incident was initially confused with another arrest at the facility on the same day, relating to an outstanding burglary warrant.

It later emerged that on May 26th, 41-year-old Shawn Chan boarded a flight to Orlando while telling customs officials that he’d be staying at the WWE Performance Center. This is despite the facility not having any rooms for such an overnight stay.

Four days after arriving in the city, Chan travelled to a house matching the description of Liv Morgan’s. Once there, he was captured on surveillance footage circling the property twice before entering the porch and checking under a doormat. It’s presumed he was looking for a spare key.

According to the affidavit, he then touched the bottom of the front door and swiped the locking mechanism with his hand several times. He’s then seen learning on the door while pulling the handle in an effort to open it.

The affidavit for the case against Chan contains the following chilling details:

Chan then “retrieved a long air rifle pellet gun from the front porch wall, which… had [been] left outside of the Residence. The air rifle is a Sig Sauer MCX .177 air rifle capable of firing metal pellets at 600 feet per second. Chan can be seen sitting on the front porch with the pellet gun before standing and walking to the front door.”

Insanity Defence Might Be Coming In Liv Morgan Case

Now the case has taken its latest twist as the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division, asked both the prosecution and defence to confirm by December 19th whether the proposed trial date is acceptable.

However, a status update filed with the court on December 14th indicated that the defence anticipates filing a rule that signals an intent to introduce an insanity defence. If this happens, the prosecution will likely request a continuance, which will almost certainly delay any trial beyond January.
