Ex-Boyfriend Charged with Attempted Murder
A Community Comes Together to Support Survivor
According to kansascity, The District Attorney of Los Angeles County, George Gascón, announced that Nick Pasqual, the ex-boyfriend of makeup artist Allie Shehorn, has been charged with trying to kill her. Pasqual is also accused of breaking into Shehorn’s home in the Sunland neighborhood of Los Angeles and hurting her. This happened on May 23 when Shehorn was stabbed more than 20 times.
If Pasqual is found guilty, he could be sent to prison for life. Shehorn, 35, is still recovering from her injuries. Despite what she went through, her friends say she is doing well and even trying to comfort others. A special fundraising page has been set up to help pay for her medical bills. So far, thousands of dollars have been raised. The page says that Shehorn is a kind and loving person who had recently asked for a court order to protect herself from Pasqual.
