According to PEOPLE magazine, Pasqual was first arrested for domestic violence on May 18, 2024, and was later released on $50,000 bond. Shehorn’s friend, Jed Dornoff, told the magazine at the time that “as soon as he paid his bail, he came after her.”
Per ABC7, Shehorn, a Hollywood makeup artist, took the stand with scars on her neck and arms, to recount the night Pasqual got violent with her.
“I locked the door and he just started punching holes in that door and broke that open,” she said, according to ABC7. “I just ran into the bathroom because I thought there’s another lock on that door.”
The Los Angeles Times reported at the time that Shehorn had filed a restraining order against Pasqual days before he broke into her Sunland, Calif.,,home and stabbed her an estimated 20 times.
