RIVERSIDE - A man accused of trying to kill his girlfriend during an argument at their Eastvale home is slated to be arraigned today.
Chue Vue, 23, could face more than 25 years in prison if convicted of attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon and corporal injury on a spouse or domestic partner, along with multiple great bodily injury allegations, in the Aug. 29 attack.
The defendant remains held in lieu of $1 million bail at the Robert Presley Detention Center in Riverside.
Vue, who recently immigrated from Laos, allegedly attacked his girlfriend, who was not identified, during a domestic squabble inside their residence at 6040 Fairlane Ave., according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.
Sheriff's Sgt. Jim Erickson alleged the woman was beaten about the head by the defendant, suffering major physical trauma. Neighbors intervened and restrained Vue until deputies arrived and took him into custody, Erickson said.
The victim was rushed to a hospital, where she remains in critical condition.
