A Halloween celebration at actor Jamie Foxx’s California home was disrupted Saturday night after a man was reportedly stabbed in the neck, prompting a law enforcement response and at least one arrest.
The incident occurred Nov. 7 during SKVLK Fest, an annual Halloween event organized by Foxx’s 18-year-old daughter, Anelise Foxx.
According to TMZ, which first reported the incident Sunday, law enforcement sources said deputies and paramedics responded to the property after a male attendee suffered a superficial neck wound. Emergency personnel treated the man at the scene. A male suspect was reportedly arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.
A spokesperson for the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office separately confirmed to the Daily Mail that deputies responded to the residence for a party-related call and that a juvenile was arrested. Authorities did not specify the charge or confirm whether the juvenile was connected to the reported stabbing.
Video footage obtained by TMZ showed several individuals in handcuffs as law enforcement officers directed hundreds of costumed attendees away from the property.
Despite the reported violence, organizers had established rules prohibiting weapons at the event. A photograph from the gathering showed a posted notice banning both real and imitation weapons, including costume accessories.
SKVLK Fest featured musical performances, entertainment, and carnival attractions. This year’s celebration was originally scheduled for Oct. 31 but was postponed because of rain. Performers included Offset, OhGeesy, 310babii, and SuperDuperKyle, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Foxx shared footage from the celebration on social media Sunday, praising his daughter and highlighting performances from the event. Neither Foxx nor Anelise had publicly addressed the reported stabbing as of Monday. It remains unclear whether the Academy Award-winning actor was present when the incident occurred.
The incident follows a disturbance at last year’s SKVLK Fest, when someone reportedly threw an object toward rapper GloRilla during her performance, prompting Foxx to confront members of the audience.
Authorities have not publicly identified the injured man or released details about what led to the reported confrontation. Formal charges related to the alleged stabbing had not been independently confirmed as of Monday.
