A Hollywood actor accused of violently attacking his estranged girlfriend has been apprehended in Texas as he attempted to escape to Mexico. Nick Pasqual, 34, allegedly broke into Allie Shehorn’s home in Sunland, California, and stabbed her multiple times, causing severe injuries. Shehorn, a renowned makeup artist known for her work on various films, including “Rebel Moon” and “Mean Girls,” was discovered by her surrogate mother in a harrowing state.
The assault left Shehorn with numerous wounds, including slashes to her neck, arms, and abdomen. Pasqual, facing charges of attempted murder, burglary, and other offenses, is accused of inflicting significant harm on Shehorn during a domestic violence incident. He is set to be extradited to Los Angeles County to face the consequences of his actions, with the possibility of a life sentence if convicted.
Prior to the attack, Shehorn had obtained a restraining order against Pasqual, citing multiple instances of abuse, including physical assaults and threats. Following the assault, she was hospitalized in critical condition and underwent several surgeries. The community has rallied around her, raising funds to support her medical and rehabilitation costs through online campaigns.
Despite the traumatic experience, Shehorn’s resilience shines through as she continues to make progress in her recovery. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of domestic violence and underscores the importance of accountability for such heinous acts. Los Angeles County District Attorney Gascón has expressed sympathy for the victim and emphasized the need to support her during her journey to healing.
As Shehorn navigates the challenging road ahead, her strength and determination are evident, inspiring those around her. Through her work in the film industry, she has garnered recognition and accolades for her talent in makeup and special effects.
