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.
