While the DA’s office did not name the victim, Entertainment Tonight reports that Pasqual is accused of stabbing makeup artist Allie Shehorn. A GoFundMe page has been set up to help cover Shehorn’s medical expenses.
According to the district attorney’s office, Pasqual allegedly broke into his ex-girlfriend’s Los Angeles home around 4:30 AM on May 23 and stabbed her “multiple times.” Shehorn, who had recently filed a restraining order against Pasqual, was critically injured and hospitalized.
The GoFundMe page states that Shehorn is “fighting for her life” after being admitted to the intensive care unit for several days. She 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 following the stabbing. He was detained at a U.S.-Mexico border checkpoint in Texas after an arrest warrant was issued, according to the district attorney’s office. Pasqual will be extradited back to Los Angeles to face charges, though an arraignment date has not yet been scheduled.
