Pasqual allegedly stabbed Shehorn multiple times at 4:30 a.m. on May 23 at her home in Los Angeles. He broke into her home, injured her seriously with a knife, and fled the scene. Pasqual was later caught at a U.S./Mexico border checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, Texas. The L.A. District Attorney’s office says he will be brought back to Los Angeles County to face charges.

“My thoughts and sympathies are with the victim of this terrible incident,” said District Attorney George Gascón in the press release. “Our office, including our Bureau of Victim Services, offers support and resources to her as she begins the long and difficult journey of healing from the physical and emotional trauma.”
He added, “This horrible incident is a reminder of the dangers of domestic violence. We will make sure that the person responsible is held accountable for their actions.”
Before Pasqual’s arrest on May 29, it was reported that Shehorn underwent multiple surgeries for her injuries, according to a GoFundMe page created by her friends Emily MacDonald and Jed Dornoff.
She was in intensive care for several days, but on Tuesday, May 28, she was moved to a different part of the hospital. On Wednesday, Dornoff shared a photo of Shehorn walking around the hospital with a walker.
“Allie Shehorn is making positive steps in her recovery. It’s still a very long road, but she is facing it with courage and determination. Love, Jed,” he wrote in the update.
Dornoff also mentioned that Shehorn and Pasqual met on the set of Rebel Moon, reports the Los Angeles Times.
