The actor’s annual SKVLK Fest in Thousand Oaks took an unexpected turn after a guest was reportedly stabbed in the neck, prompting a police response and the arrest of a suspect.
What was supposed to be a night of music, costumes and Halloween festivities took a disturbing turn at Jamie Foxx’s annual Halloween celebration over the weekend after a guest was reportedly stabbed during the event.
The incident occurred Saturday, November 7, at Foxx’s home in Thousand Oaks, California, during SKVLK Fest, the annual Halloween-themed celebration organized with his 18-year-old daughter, Anelise Foxx.
According to reports, Ventura County law enforcement officials and emergency personnel responded to the property after a male partygoer suffered a stab wound to the neck. The victim reportedly sustained a superficial injury and was treated by paramedics at the scene.
The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that a juvenile male suspect was taken into custody. The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities have not publicly identified those involved or disclosed what led to the confrontation.
Footage circulating online showed a chaotic scene outside the property, with law enforcement officers and security personnel directing costumed guests off the premises. Several individuals were also seen in handcuffs as authorities worked to clear the area.
Adding another layer to the incident, a photograph from the event showed a posted rule explicitly prohibiting both real and fake weapons, including items that might typically be used as Halloween costume accessories.
It remains unclear whether Foxx was present at the property when the incident occurred. Neither the actor nor his representatives had publicly addressed the reported stabbing as of Monday.
This year’s SKVLK Fest was originally scheduled for October 31 but was postponed until November 7 because of weather conditions. The event featured live performances from Offset, 310babii, SuperDuperKyle and OhGeesy, along with carnival rides and other attractions.
The celebration has become an annual tradition for Foxx and his daughter, attracting large crowds and entertainment personalities. Foxx has previously praised Anelise for helping turn her vision of a major Halloween festival into reality.
However, this isn’t the first time the event has made headlines for an unexpected incident. During last year’s celebration, Foxx confronted an audience member who reportedly threw a bottle toward rapper GloRilla while she was performing. The actor stopped the festivities briefly to express his disappointment before the performance continued.
For now, authorities are continuing to investigate the latest incident, while questions remain about what happened leading up to the reported stabbing and whether additional charges will follow.
What began as a Halloween celebration filled with music and entertainment has now become the subject of a criminal investigation.
