Jamie Foxx’s Halloween celebration disrupted by reported stabbing and arrest

The annual festival, organized by Foxx’s daughter Anelise, drew hundreds of guests before authorities responded to an incident at the property.

A man was reportedly stabbed in the neck at SKVLK Fest, the Halloween music event held at Jamie Foxx’s home in Thousand Oaks, California, on Saturday, November 7. His daughter Anelise, who played guitar beside him at June’s BET Awards, organizes the festival.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ that the guest suffered a superficial neck wound and was treated by paramedics at the property. A male suspect was reportedly arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, though details about what led to the injury remain unclear.

Video filmed outside the event showed several people in handcuffs while hundreds of costumed guests were directed away from the house.

A sign posted at the gathering prohibited both real and imitation weapons, including costume props. The injured guest has not been publicly identified, and investigators have not explained how the confrontation unfolded.

A Ventura County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson separately told the Daily Mail that deputies responded to a party call and a juvenile was arrested, AllHipHop reported. The spokesperson did not specify a charge. It has not been established whether the juvenile was the suspect identified in TMZ’s reporting.

SKVLK Fest features live music, carnival rides and elaborate Halloween costumes. This year’s event was postponed from October 31 because of rain, PEOPLE reported. Foxx later shared videos from the festival on social media and praised Anelise for organizing it.

Previous SKVLK Fest lineups have included Tyga and Leon Thomas. Clips Foxx posted after Saturday’s festival highlighted Offset and OhGeesy.
