A massive Halloween celebration at Jamie Foxx’s California mansion descended into chaos Saturday night when a guest was reportedly stabbed in the neck, prompting a police response that ended with a suspect in custody and hundreds of costumed partygoers being escorted from the property.
The frightening incident unfolded November 7 at the Oscar-winning actor’s sprawling home in Thousand Oaks, California, where his annual Halloween music festival, SKVLK Fest, was underway.
According to law enforcement sources cited by TMZ, deputies from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office and emergency medical personnel were called to the property after reports of a stabbing.
A male guest suffered a superficial wound to his neck and was treated by paramedics at the scene. Despite the alarming location of the injury, the wound was not considered life-threatening.
Authorities reportedly arrested a male suspect on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.
Video obtained by TMZ shows a chaotic scene outside the mansion, with several people in handcuffs as officers direct large groups of guests away from the property.
Hundreds of attendees, many dressed in elaborate Halloween costumes, can be seen leaving the festivities while law enforcement personnel work to secure the area.
Perhaps the most surprising detail was a sign posted at the event explicitly warning guests that weapons were prohibited.
The rules reportedly stated that attendees could not bring real or fake weapons onto the property, including props intended to complete Halloween costumes.
Despite those restrictions, the celebration ended with a reported stabbing and a criminal investigation.
The festival, organized by Foxx’s 18-year-old daughter, Anelise, has become an annual attraction featuring live music, carnival-style rides and performances by well-known hip-hop and R&B artists.
This year’s event was originally scheduled for October 31 but was postponed until November 7 because of rainy weather in Southern California.
Previous editions have featured performers including Tyga, Ty Dolla $ign, Sexyy Red and Leon Thomas, attracting large crowds to the family’s property.
It remains unclear what triggered Saturday’s confrontation or whether the injured guest and suspect knew each other.
The identities of those involved have not been publicly released.
A Ventura County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson separately confirmed to reporters that deputies responded to a party-related call at the residence and that a juvenile was arrested. Authorities have not clarified whether that arrest involved the same individual described in TMZ’s reporting.
Foxx, 58, has not publicly addressed the alleged stabbing, and it remains unclear whether he personally witnessed the incident.
The actor subsequently shared clips from the festival on social media, praising his daughter and the performers who helped organize the event.
Saturday’s violence is not the first controversy to overshadow the family’s Halloween celebration.
During last year’s festival, rapper GloRilla was performing when someone in the audience reportedly threw a glass bottle toward the stage, briefly interrupting her set.
Foxx took the microphone and angrily confronted the crowd, demanding to know who was responsible.
“Why would you do something like that?” he asked, expressing frustration that someone would behave that way during an event hosted at his home.
GloRilla eventually resumed her performance, but the confrontation became a widely circulated moment from the celebration.
Now, a year later, the latest incident has brought renewed attention to security at the actor’s large private gatherings.
The reported stabbing comes during an eventful period in Foxx’s personal life. The Ray star recently welcomed a baby with girlfriend Alyce Huckstepp, adding another child to his growing family.
For now, investigators have not publicly disclosed what led to the confrontation, whether any additional charges will be filed or whether other arrests are connected to the reported stabbing.
The injured guest was treated at the scene, while authorities continue examining the circumstances surrounding the violence.
