Actor Charged with Stabbing Hollywood Makeup Artist Multiple Times in Sunland Home

An actor has been charged with attempted murder for allegedly stabbing his former girlfriend, a Hollywood makeup artist, multiple times in her Sunland home, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Nick Pasqual, 34, reportedly fled after the attack and was detained at a U.S.-Mexico border checkpoint in Texas, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.

The victim, identified on a GoFundMe page as Hollywood makeup artist Allie Shehorn, had recently taken out a restraining order against Pasqual, prosecutors said.

Pasqual is accused of breaking into Shehorn's home around 4:30 a.m. last Thursday and stabbing her repeatedly. She was hospitalized with critical injuries.

An arrest warrant was issued the day after the attack.

Pasqual faces charges including attempted murder, first-degree residential burglary with a person present, and injuring a spouse, cohabitant, fiancé, boyfriend, girlfriend, or child's parent, according to the DA's office.

Additionally, he is accused of inflicting great bodily injury on the victim under circumstances involving domestic violence, and it is alleged he personally used a knife during the crime.

If convicted, Pasqual could be sentenced to life in state prison.

Pasqual has appeared on the TV show "How I Met Your Mother" and the 2023 film "Rebel Moon," according to his IMDB page.

"My thoughts and heartfelt sympathies are with the victim in this horrific incident," District Attorney George Gascón said in a statement. "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."

So far, the GoFundMe page for Shehorn has raised more than $90,000 to help pay for medical costs.
