June 14 2024, Updated 2:05 p.m. ET
Nick Pasqual, the actor who allegedly viciously attacked his estranged girlfriend, Hollywood makeup artist Allie Shehorn, was extradited from Texas this week and arrived at Los Angeles International Airport on Wednesday.
The 34-year-old reached LAX around 12:00 PM, RadarOnline.com can report, and was transported and booked. Pasqual was arraigned on Thursday in Dept. S at the San Fernando Courthouse.
He is currently being held without bail.
His next court date has been scheduled for July 16 in Dept. S for a preliminary hearing, a rep for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office told this outlet.
As we previously reported, Pasqual allegedly stabbed Shehorn more than 20 times on May 23 at her Los Angeles home. The victim had recently filed a restraining order against Pasqual.
Authorities said he broke into her home around 4:30 AM and "inflicted great bodily injury upon the victim under circumstances involving domestic violence" and "personally used a knife during the commission of the crime," per a news release.
Pasqual allegedly fled the scene of the crime and was detained at a U.S./Mexico border checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, Texas.
Pasqual is 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.
Shehorn, whose credits include Mean Girls, Rebel Moon and Babylon, was hospitalized with critical injuries and still has a long road to recovery.
The makeup artist's friends Emily MacDonald and Jed Dornoff launched a GoFundMe campaign to help cover her mounting medical bills.
As of Friday, more than $112k has been raised of a $150k goal.
The 35-year-old has been fighting for her life after facing "a horrific and senseless act of violence," they shared in an update.
Dornoff revealed a woman named Christine White discovered Shehorn after the terrifying incident.
"She is like an adopted Mom who cares a lot about Allie," Dornoff said. "She is very brave and acted fast when she found Allie bleeding out. Thank you Christine for saving her life."

More recently, Shehorn's breathing and feeding tubes were removed, plus she was able to talk prior to being moved out of the ICU.
"She is still determined not to let this beat her and is pushing through the pain to heal," they added.
The latest update was on June 8, alongside a photo of Shehorn in her hospital bed.
"Things got real. Allie is doing her best to stay positive but the struggle is hard. There are complications that we can not release to the public at this time."
