Shelley Malil, who appeared in The 40 Year Old Virgin, allegedly stabbed his ex girlfriend, Kendra Beebe, more than 20 times. Reports say Malil went to his ex girlfriend’s home in San Diego, chased he inside and outside her home, until he caught her then stabbed her repeatedly, all while her two children were home with her.

A neighbor tried to stop Malil by jumping on him, but Malil got away. Not longer after his escape, Malil was arrested at a San Diego Amtrak station.

Neighbors said Malil and Beebe were boyfriend and girlfriend. Neighbors also said the now former couple were together as recently as Sunday morning, when they were spotted going to the gym. Over the weekend one neighbor saw them pack up the car with Beebe’s two kids for a beach outing.

The condition of the ex girlfriend is critical, but reports are optimistic she will survive.

Update: Malil has been charged with attempted murder.
