Gargiulo moved from Chicago to Los Angeles and lived just 400 feet from Ashley.
Court documents, obtained by The National Enquirer, reportedly reveal that Ellerin was in the shower before being stabbed 47 times.
“He slashed Ms. Ellerin’s throat so violently [he] nearly decapitated her,” the docs claim.
Gargiulo also stands accused of the murder of Maria Bruno, who had moved into a home just 100 feet from him shortly before she was killed on December 1, 2005.
The trial will reportedly begin in the coming months and Ashton will reportedly be called as a witness.

The actor was reported to have given evidence at the time of Ellerin’s death, having arrived at 10:45 to go out together but she never answered the calls.
In an interview on 48 Hours Mystery, Ellerin’s friends revealed how she got close to Kutcher.
"We had hung out with him a couple of times, you know," her pal Justin Peterson said. "And, you know, they had... maybe gone out on a couple dates, or whatever."
While close friend Chris Duran added: "I knew they were gonna be hanging out, going to a Grammy party. He was] pickin' her up to take her to a party."
In the show, which aired in 2012, it was reported that Ashton told police that he looked into windows and saw what he thought was wine on the floor and left before her body was discovered by her flatmate the following day.
