On May 23 in the early morning in Los Angeles in the Sunland neighbourhood, a tragedy occurred. Hollywood star makeup artist Allie Shehorn was attacked in her home; allegedly, the perpetrator stabbed her 20 times, injuring her in the neck, arms, and abdomen. The assailant fled the scene, and the woman was taken to the hospital in critical condition, where she underwent numerous surgeries that saved her life.

The main suspect is Shehorn's former partner, actor Nick Pasqual, who had previously committed acts of violence against Allie. During one of the attacks, the woman suffered a concussion. A few days before the assault, the makeup artist filed for a restraining order against Nick.

Pasqual is expected to face charges including attempted murder, causing injuries, and burglary. His extradition to Los Angeles County is imminent. The man could face life imprisonment.

Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón stated that the victim has been provided with all necessary support, and the perpetrator will be held accountable.
