Knife Attack Suspect and Victim Were Tight

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the victim in the vicious knife attack outside San Diego is Kendra Beebe.

Actor Shelley Malil, who has appeared in films such as "The 40 Year Old Virgin," has been arrested on attempted murder charges. Authorities say Malil stabbed Beebe at least 20 times.

Neighbors tell TMZ Malil and Beebe were boyfriend/girlfriend. They 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 kids were there when their 35-year-old mother was attacked. One neighbor tells us he saw Malil attacking Beebe with a knife, and saw another man in the backyard, who appeared to be trying to stop the attack. The neighbor says that man fled the scene but returned to speak with cops.

After the attack, before paramedics arrived, that neighbor came over and wrapped Kendra in a blanket to stop the bleeding. Cops told him he may have saved her life.

Beebe's condition is unknown, however one local TV station reports she's in critical condition but expected to survive.

A Friend:  1280 days ago

It is sad that so many people are filled with such hatred...like most of the people that leave comments here. I actually know & have worked with this man. Obviously something made him snap and the results will be devasting to not only the victim, but to him & both of their families. So many of us have been in situations where we felt we could go over an edge & unfortunately, he did. I hope that none of you hate mongers are ever in the same situation, because it is possible. I'll pray for Ms. Beebe, Shelley, their families & for all of you that take a story like this and use it as an opportunity to spew your venom.

Interesting how facts are different between his two bios on IMDB.

" With $600 to his name and a phone number of a friend of a friend in his pocket..."

When he saw the stabs that he had done, he realized that he should've given her 21.

Sorry...

This comment is terribly inappropriate. So many people filled with hatred, like most that leave comments here? None of the comments on here were filled with so much hatred, the comments stabbed a lady 20 times! What the hell is wrong with you? And...uh as far as spewing venom...why don't you ask Shelley if he is ready for prison. Facts or no facts, a 2 million dollar bond...dude is going to the hole.

I can see the nicknames now... Celly Shelley
Sweet Luva from Calcutta

"Forecast cloudy, chance of Prison Love"

Stabbing a girl 20 times...He must of really liked his CD collection.

Nice to make excuses for him #18 you dumbass. He's obviously a sociopath. Not every person is capable of snapping and stabbing a loved one repeatedly like you make it sound. He needs to rot in jail for the rest of his evil life.

"Middle-eastern men are violent?"

First, India is in Asian, not the middle east. The cultural differences between India and the Middle East are vast.

Second, Indian men are not violent. The majority of my doctors are Indian. I've dated Indian men. Stating that someone did something because of their race shows that you're uneducated, racist and uninformed. If you check the statistics you will find that the majority of spousal abuse is done by white men. Take a look at a website that lists men who have killed their families. Count the number of white men as opposed to non-whites. It will be five to one.

I cannot believe people on this site. Now I understand why the rest of the world sees Americans as uneducated poor white trash.

Twenty stabs means he wanted her dead. Intentional bodily harm. This reminds like the Manson Murders to me, also it is like when my friend was stabbbed 22 times. Stabbing hurts and the person doing the stabbing gets exausted. Don't worry Californians who overturned the death penalty, he'll be sitting in jail for 40 years on your dime and then ask for Mercy, you are all wussies and won't take an eye for and eye. As fars as being middle eastern, what the heck does that have to do with anything?? I admire Indians from India, My boss lady is from India. See Siri, not all of us whites are trashy..but Americans come in many colors...And if people SAW this, why did they do nothing but watch and run? How painful for this girl, what the heck made him flip like that, one stab to make a point may be considered mild attack, by over twenty times, he wanted her dead!!! And in front of the children, poor babies to witness their mommy being hacked to near death.
