In a distressing turn of events, Hollywood is grappling with shocking news as "Rebel Moon" actor Nick Pasqual, 34, stands accused of attempted murder for the brutal stabbing of his ex-girlfriend, Allie Shehorn, a well-known makeup artist. According to KABC, the attack occurred at Shehorn's Sunland residence, where she sustained critical injuries from multiple stab wounds.
Detained at a U.S.-Mexico border checkpoint in Texas, Pasqual faces a string of charges, including one count of attempted murder and first-degree residential burglary with a person present. A restraining order recently taken out by Shehorn against Pasqual was reported by KTLA, highlighting the domestic violence underpinning this case. As a result of the attack, a GoFundMe page in support of Shehorn has exceeded $90,000 to aid her burgeoning medical costs.
With the legal process unfolding, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office has stated, "My thoughts and heartfelt sympathies are with the victim in this horrific incident," as told to Entertainment Tonight. "We will ensure that the individual responsible for this egregious act is held accountable for their actions." Pasqual, who also appeared on television's "How I Met Your Mother," if convicted, could face a life sentence.
Surviving a heinous assault, Shehorn was hospitalized after the attack that took place at approximately 4:30 a.m. on May 23. Found by her surrogate mother who was staying with her, the 35-year-old victim suffered multiple severe injuries requiring intensive medical treatment. The District Attorney's office further alleges that Pasqual, who fled after committing the crime, inflicted great bodily injury upon Shehorn under the circumstances involving domestic violence.
The community has rallied behind Shehorn during her recovery. Friends and supporters have voiced their support for Shehorn, described as "compassionate and caring," indicating the depth of shock permeating the Hollywood makeup world. The Los Angeles Police Department is currently heading the ongoing investigation into the stabbing as reported by KTLA, maintaining a vigilant eye on a case that has resonated with alarming implications of domestic violence.
