PWInsider.com reported the following on 6/4:
"WWE sources, speaking on condition of anonymity this afternoon, confirmed to PWInsider.com that there was another arrest last night at the WWE NXT taping at the WWE Performance Center.
The story making the rounds that a suspected stalker for Liv Morgan was apprehended outside the Performance Center is 100% legitimate based on what we were told this afternoon.
The arrest was not made by local authorities we are told, which means a much larger agency is involved.
The suspect is currently being held."
The Independent in Canada reported today that Canadian national Shawn Chan was the one arrested by The FBI at the PC on 6/3, based on documents that were unsealed yesterday.
Their report notes:
"On May 26, Chan boarded an Air Canada flight to Orlando, telling customs officials upon arrival that he would be staying at the WWE Performance Center during his stay, according to the affidavit. The center is “a state-of-the-art training facility designed to develop well-rounded athletes with aspirations of joining the [WWE],” the affidavit explains. “It does not, however, have any hotel rooms, dorm rooms, or other lodging.
Four days after he got to Orlando, the affidavit says Chan traveled about two hours west of the city to a house that appears to describe [Liv] Morgan’s, the affidavit states. Surveillance footage captured Chan arriving at roughly 5:20 p.m. on May 31, wearing a black shirt, tan shorts, a black baseball hat, and carrying a large black backpack.
He approached the home through the yard instead of walking up the driveway, and circled the property twice, the affidavit goes on. He then entered the front porch and reached down around the door mat, presumably looking for a spare key, the affidavit continues. Chan, it says, then “touched around the bottom of the front door, swiped the locking mechanism on the door several times with his hand, grabbed the front door handle, and leaned into the door attempting to open it.”
After failing to get inside, Chan then “retrieved a long air rifle pellet gun from the front porch wall, which… had [been] left outside of the Residence,” the affidavit states. “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.”
After loitering for more than two hours, seemingly waiting for Morgan to return, Chan left a note near some packages that had been delivered, according to the affidavit. Among other things, the note mentioned having been wronged by members of an online gaming community and said, “I came here to pay just a friendly visit, nothing more… Yea, I just wanted to let you know that I was here.”
Chan was arrested after WWE security, having seen security footage from Morgan's home, recognized Chan and alerted authorities.
Chan has an appearance schedued before Orlando federal court on 7/18, where he will be arraigned on one count of interstate domestic violence. He faces up to five years in prison.
Unfortunately, this is not the first case of someone showing up at Morgan's home as the article mentions there have been at least two other instances, nor is to the first known stalking attempt by a fan that led to criminal charges.
In August 2020, Phillio Thomas, a deranged fan invaded then-WWE star Sonya Deville's home, forcing Deville and Mandy Rose to have to flee the property. Thomas later plead to several charges, including attempted kidnapping, aggravated stalking, and armed burglary. After a plea deal, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison followed by 15 years of probation.
