A man was reportedly stabbed in the neck during the annual Halloween party at Jamie Foxx's Southern California mansion, and a suspect was taken into custody, according to multiple reports.

The incident happened Saturday, Nov. 7, at Foxx's estate in Thousand Oaks, California, during SKVLK Fest, the Halloween bash Foxx hosts with his daughter, Complex reported, citing TMZ and law enforcement sources.

What Happened at the Party

According to TMZ, a male guest was stabbed in the neck at the party. His injuries were described as "superficial," and paramedics treated him at the scene. Authorities told TMZ that the man suffered minor cuts.

A suspect was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, TMZ reported. The Ventura County Sheriff's Office said deputies responded "for a party call" and that "there was a juvenile arrested," according to AllHipHop. The suspect has not been identified, and it remains unclear what led to the stabbing or whether the suspect and victim knew each other.

Police and paramedics responded to the home, and ambulances stood by as officers cleared out hundreds of partygoers in costume, Cover Media reported. Video obtained by TMZ showed one handcuffed man being led away, along with several other men in handcuffs sitting on the ground. It is not clear whether all of them were arrested.

The party reportedly had a posted rule banning "real or fake weapons." A separate social media post claimed multiple arrests were made and that others were hurt in altercations, but those claims have not been confirmed by authorities.

Security told the crowd to clear the road for emergency vehicles, and some partygoers reportedly ignored instructions from law enforcement. The sheriff's office confirmed the call but did not release further details about the stabbing.

Was Jamie Foxx There?

It is unclear whether Foxx, the Oscar-winning actor who recently welcomed his third child, his first with girlfriend Alyce Huckstepp, was home at the time of the stabbing. The Foxx family has not publicly commented on the incident, and a representative did not respond to a request for comment from Page Six.

Foxx did not mention the stabbing on social media. Instead, he shared a video of rapper OhGeesy performing at the event and praised his daughter for putting the party together. Offset and DJ Stevie J were also featured in his posts about the event, AllHipHop reported.

An Annual Halloween Tradition

SKVLK Fest has become a yearly Halloween tradition at Foxx's home, combining live music with carnival rides and costumes. This year's event was originally set for Oct. 31 but was pushed back because of rain. Foxx's daughter announced the party on social media last month, writing, "We're bringing back the biggest Halloween party of the year."

Past editions have featured live music and drawn thousands of attendees, KTLA reported. This year's lineup reportedly included Tyga, Ty Dolla $ign, Sexyy Red and Leon Thomas, according to Fashion Times.

This is the second year in a row the party has made headlines for safety problems. At last year's event on Oct. 24, 2025, which was an invite-only party for teens and young adults at the same property, GloRilla's set was stopped after someone threw a glass bottle toward the stage.

GloRilla later resumed her performance. Foxx addressed the crowd at the time, telling them, "Why would you do something like that? Why would you throw something at the stage, man? This is for free."

A Violent Halloween Season

The stabbing comes one week after Halloween weekend shootings across the country left at least 13 people dead and 92 injured.

No further details about the suspect or the victim have been released.
