SHAWN CHAN UPDATE

Shawn Chan, who was found not guilty by reason of insanity in his criminal case after traveling to the United States and Liv Morgan's home, was taken into custody by ICE overnight and will remain in custody of The Department of Homeland Security until he is deported, PWInsider.com is told.

 Chan was arrested in May 2025 for one count of interstate domestic violence after traveling from Canada to WWE star Liv Morgan's home in Florida before being arrested at the WWE Performance Center but was found not guilty by reason of insanity before the United States District Court, Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division.

Chan was charged after traveling to The United States last year and spending hours loitering at Morgan's property in Florida.   Chan flew from Scarborough, Ontario to Orlando, Florida on 5/26/25 (the same day he was issued a passport), telling customs agents in Florida that he would be staying at the WWE Performance Center - which has no housing facilities.  Four days later, according to the criminal complaint against him, Chan traveled several hours to Liv Morgan's home, circled her property several times and entered through her backyard.  He then attempted to gain entry to her front door but was unsuccessful.  He found and held an air pellet that was sitting inside her front porch and after waiting several hours, left a note and departed.

According to the criminal complaint against him, Chan's contained his name, address in Canada and his phone number, and read, in part, "It's me Shawn the guy you all hang out with on [gaming platform deleted] online.  You've been trying to contact me, or should I say reach out to me when I'm absent from that game. So who's the stalker huh?!  I NEVER said and did anything bad for over 10 years, yet you all dared hating me for no reason.  I came here to pay just a friendly visit, nothing more. Yet, I'm the one who looks like a stalker thx to all of you.  And you all think I'm going to have empathy, sympathy and care about any of you anymore?  I will start talking and doing whatever I want despite all your shoosh finger faces that you all make.  Yea, I just wanted to let you know that I was here."

Chan was arrested by the FBI on 6/3/25 after WWE security, having seen security footage from Morgan's home, recognized him and alerted authorities.  Chan was indicted on 6/25/25 and faced five years imprisonment.    Chan had been incarcerated since his arrest in June and had failed at several attempts to be released before his trial. 

In recent months, Chan pushed to introduce an insanity defense, which as it turned out, allowed him to be found not guilty

While Chan was living in Canada at the time he traveled to the United States, he was originally born in Hong Kong, so it is unclear where he would be transported.
