Hollywood actor Nick Pasqual, 34, was charged with attempted murder after allegedly stabbing his ex-girlfriend, a makeup artist, multiple times at her Sunland residence, according to prosecutors Wednesday. The actor allegedly fled the scene and was detained at a US-Mexico border crossing in Texas, as released by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
The victim, known as Hollywood makeup artist Allie Shehorn on a GoFundMe page, recently obtained a restraining order against Pasqual, prosecutors noted.
Pasqual allegedly broke into Shehorn’s residence around 4:30 a.m. last Thursday, attacking her with multiple stab wounds. She suffered serious injuries and was hospitalized, ABC news reported.
An arrest warrant was issued immediately after the incident.
Pasqual faces charges including attempted murder, first-degree residential burglary with a person present and causing injury to a partner or family member, as detailed by the prosecutor’s office.
Furthermore, he is accused of causing serious bodily harm to the victim in the context of domestic violence, and it is alleged that he personally wielded a knife during the attack.
Conviction on these charges could result in a life sentence in state prison.
Pasqual has credits on the TV series “How I Met Your Mother” and the 2023 film “Rebel Moon,” according to his IMDB page.
“My thoughts and sincere condolences are with the victim of this horrific incident,” District Attorney George Gascon said in a statement.
“This heinous incident is a stark reminder of the dangers of domestic violence,” Gascon also said. “We will ensure that the individual responsible for this egregious act is held accountable for their actions.”
According to the GoFundMe page, Shehorn has raised more than $90,000 to help pay for medical expenses.
