Actor Nick Pasqual, accused of repeatedly stabbing his ex-girlfriend, has been arrested at the U.S.-Mexico border.

 

Hollywood actor Nick Pasqual has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly stabbing his former girlfriend multiple times.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office announced on Wednesday that Pasqual, 34, faces one count of attempted murder, one 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, he could receive a maximum sentence of life in prison.

While the DA's office did not identify the victim, Entertainment Tonight reports that Pasqual is accused of stabbing makeup artist Allie Shehorn. A GoFundMe has been set up to cover Shehorn's medical expenses.

According to the district attorney's office, Pasqual allegedly broke into his ex-girlfriend's Los Angeles home at 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 GoFundMe page states that Shehorn is "fighting for her life" after being hospitalized. She was in the intensive care unit for several days and has undergone multiple surgeries, including one to repair severed tendons in her right arm and another to close wounds in her neck.

"No one deserves to endure such a traumatic experience, especially someone as compassionate and caring as Allie," reads the GoFundMe page.

Pasqual allegedly fled the city after the stabbing. An arrest warrant was issued, and he was detained at a U.S.-Mexico border checkpoint in Texas, according to the district attorney's office.

Officials said Pasqual will be extradited back to Los Angeles to face charges. An arraignment date has not yet been scheduled.

The Los Angeles Police Department is continuing to investigate the case.

Shehorn has worked on projects such as Rebel Moon: Part 1, Mean Girls, and Babylon, according to Entertainment Tonight. Pasqual appeared in Rebel Moon: Part 1, as well as How I Met Your Mother and Archive 81, per his IMDB page.

"My thoughts and heartfelt sympathies are with the victim in this horrific incident," District Attorney George Gascón said in the news release. "Our office, including our Bureau of Victim Services, extends our support and resources to her as she embarks on the long and difficult journey of healing from both the physical and emotional trauma inflicted upon her. This heinous incident is a stark reminder of the dangers of domestic violence. We will ensure that the individual responsible for this egregious act is held accountable for their actions."
