A man was reportedly stabbed in the neck and a suspect arrested Saturday, Nov. 7, during a Halloween music festival at actor Jamie Foxx’s home in Thousand Oaks, California. Ventura County sheriff’s deputies and paramedics responded to the property while the event was underway.
The victim suffered a superficial wound and was treated by paramedics at the property, according to TMZ, which cited law enforcement sources. The outlet reported that a male suspect was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.
A Ventura County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson separately confirmed to the Daily Mail that deputies responded to the property for a party call and that a juvenile was arrested, AllHipHop reported. The spokesperson did not specify the arrest charge in the published statement. It was not clear whether the juvenile was the suspect TMZ described.
Video obtained by TMZ showed several people in handcuffs as authorities directed hundreds of costumed guests to leave the estate. A photograph of rules posted at the event showed that weapons, including imitation weapons used as costume props, were prohibited. The rules also banned drugs, alcohol and uninvited guests.
The gathering was SKVLK Fest, pronounced “skulk,” an annual Halloween-themed music festival hosted by Foxx, 58, and his 18-year-old daughter, Anelise. Originally scheduled for Halloween, the event was postponed until Nov. 7 because of rain.

The festival combines live hip-hop performances, carnival rides and elaborate costumes. This year’s entertainment included Offset, DJ Stevie J and OhGeesy, according to videos Foxx shared on Instagram.
Foxx’s Halloween celebrations for his daughter date back several years. A 2024 report described that year’s gathering as the third installment of the annual event. The October 2024 celebration doubled as Anelise’s 16th birthday party, complete with carnival rides, DJs and appearances by performers including Sexyy Red and YK Osiris.
The celebration has since grown into a full music festival. The festival’s official website archives the 2024 and 2025 events, listing Tyga, GloRilla, Ty Dolla $ign and YK Osiris among the 2025 headliners.
Last year’s festival, held Oct. 24, 2025, was interrupted when someone in the audience threw a glass bottle toward rapper GloRilla during her performance. Foxx took the microphone and confronted the crowd.
“Why would you throw something at the stage, man? This is for free,” Foxx said, according to People.
GloRilla resumed her performance and completed her set.
The incident came days after EEW Magazine Online published an informal survey of 415 Black women ages 35 to 55 across 30 states about their Halloween practices. Fifty-seven percent said they do not celebrate Halloween. Another 33 percent called it harmless fun but said they draw the line at parties involving heavy drinking, drugs or club environments.
Foxx shared more footage from Saturday’s festival on Sunday and praised Anelise for organizing it. TMZ reported it was unclear whether Foxx was home at the time of the stabbing. Neither Foxx nor his daughter had publicly addressed the reported stabbing as of Monday morning, according to published reports. Authorities had not disclosed the victim’s identity or publicly established what preceded the injury.
