Pasqual was arrested and charged with one count of attempted murder, one count of first-degree residential burglary with person present and one count of injuring a spouse, cohabitant, fiancé, boyfriend, girlfriend or child’s parent.

The actor broke into her home and “inflicted great bodily injury upon the victim under circumstances involving domestic violence,” the release stated. He “personally used a knife during the commission of the crime.”

Pasqual allegedly fled and was detained at a U.S.-Mexico border checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, Texas. He will be extradited to Los Angeles County, where he will face charges for the alleged crime.

“My thoughts and heartfelt sympathies are with the victim in this horrific incident,” District Attorney George Gascón said in the release. “Our office, including our Bureau of Victim Services, extends our support and resources to her as she embarks on the long and difficult journey of healing from both the physical and emotional trauma inflicted upon her.” 

“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.”

Shehorn had sought a restraining order against Pasqual ahead of the attack, according to the release.
