Hollywood actor Nick Pasqual has been charged with attempted murder following the alleged stabbing of his former girlfriend, makeup artist Allie Shehorn. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced the charges on Wednesday, detailing a violent incident that has left Shehorn fighting for her life.
Charges and Potential Sentence
Pasqual, 34, faces one count of attempted murder, a count of first-degree residential burglary with a person present, and one count of injuring a spouse, cohabitant, fiancé, boyfriend, girlfriend, or child’s parent. If convicted on all charges, Pasqual could face a maximum sentence of life in prison.
Details of the Incident
According to the DA’s office, Pasqual allegedly broke into Shehorn’s Los Angeles home around 4:30 a.m. on May 23 and stabbed her multiple times. Shehorn, who had recently filed a restraining order against Pasqual, was hospitalized with critical injuries. The severity of her condition was highlighted in a GoFundMe campaign launched to cover her medical expenses. Shehorn spent several days in the intensive care unit and underwent multiple surgeries, including procedures to repair severed tendons in her right arm and close wounds in her neck.
Pasqual’s Arrest and Legal Proceedings
Pasqual reportedly fled the city following the attack. He was detained at a U.S.-Mexico border checkpoint in Texas after an arrest warrant was issued. He will be extradited back to Los Angeles to face charges. An arraignment date has not yet been scheduled, and the Los Angeles Police Department continues to investigate the case.
Victim’s Background and Community Support

He emphasized the seriousness of domestic violence and the commitment to holding Pasqual accountable for his actions.
