View Date:2024-12-23 18:25:13
Nick Pasqual, a 34-year-old actor who appeared in the "How I Met Your Mother" TV series and director Zack Snyder's "Rebel Moon" film saga, was charged with allegedly stabbing his estranged girlfriend "multiple times" at her California home, according to state prosecutors.
Pasqual was charged with 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, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced Thursday in a news release.
Pasqual is accused of breaking into his estranged girlfriend's Los Angeles home around 4:30 a.m. on May 23 and stabbing her numerous times, according to Gascón. The woman had recently filed a restraining order against the actor, the district attorney added.
Pasqual's ex-girlfriend was taken to a hospital with critical injuries, according to the DA's office.

Nick Pasqual detained at US-Mexico border
In addition to Pasqual's attempted murder charge, the actor is accused of inflicting "great bodily injury" upon his estranged girlfriend during the domestic violence incident, according to Gascón. He allegedly used a knife to commit the stabbing, the DA's office said.
“My thoughts and heartfelt sympathies are with the victim in this horrific incident,” Gascón said in the 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.”
Pasqual is believed to have fled the scene after the stabbing, but he has since been detained at the U.S.-Mexico border checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, Texas, Gascón's office said. The actor will be extradited to Los Angeles County where he will taken into custody for his crimes, according to the district attorney.
An arraignment date for Pasqual has not been scheduled. If convicted on all charges, he could receive a maximum sentence of life in state prison, Gascón's office said in the release.
'Allie is now in the hospital fighting for her life'
Gascón's office did not identify Pasqual's estranged girlfriend, but a GoFundMe page created for makeup artist Allie Shehorn's medical expenses mentions how she was "stabbed multiple times by her ex-boyfriend" during a "senseless act of violence."
The GoFundMe page also says Shehorn's ex-boyfriend was "caught trying to flee the country on the Texas and Mexican border."
"Allie is now in the hospital fighting for her life, in critical condition," according to the page.
The page organized by Shehorn's friends describes her as a "remarkable person" who is full of "warmth, kindness and love."
"No one deserves to endure such a traumatic experience, especially someone as compassionate and caring as Allie, according to the fundraiser. "The road to recovery will be long and arduous, but with your support, we can help ease her burden and provide the financial assistance she desperately needs."
Shehorn underwent several surgeries, including procedures to repair severed tendons in her right arm and to close wounds in her neck, the GoFundMe page says. As of Thursday morning, the page is about $6,000 shy of its $100,000 goal.
