After the alleged attack, Mr. Pasqual reportedly fled the scene and was detained at a checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, Texas. The actor, known for minor roles in films like Rebel Moon Part One and Jobs, as well as TV shows like How I Met Your Mother, has also appeared in sketch comedy podcast National Day Riff and sci-fi series A Demon’s Destiny: The Lone Warrior.
Friends of Ms. Shehorn have set up a fundraising page for her, describing her as a “remarkable person, full of warmth, kindness, and love.” They are asking for support to help ease her burden and provide the financial assistance she desperately needs as she fights for her life in critical condition.
In response to the incident, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón called it “heinous” and a “stark reminder of the dangers of domestic violence.” He expressed his sympathies for the victim and assured that the individual responsible for the act will be held accountable for their actions.
