A juvenile male was arrested Saturday evening following a stabbing at Jamie Foxx’s home in Thousand Oaks, California, according to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office. Authorities responded to a call at the 1300 block of West Potrero Road around 6:30 p.m., where a male guest suffered a superficial neck wound and was treated on-site by paramedics. The suspect was taken into custody in connection with an assault with a deadly weapon.
The incident occurred during Foxx’s annual Halloween party, known as Skvlkfest, which had been rescheduled to November 7 due to prior weather-related postponements. While Foxx did not immediately comment, his representatives confirmed no immediate response to inquiries. Video footage from the scene showed law enforcement detaining multiple attendees on the property, which spans 7,000 square feet and was purchased by Foxx in 2007 for $10.5 million.
Law Enforcement Response
Deputies and paramedics arrived at the residence after reports of a stabbing, with TMZ and The Daily Mail citing sources confirming the juvenile suspect’s arrest. The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office stated the investigation remains ongoing, and no further details about the suspect’s identity or motives have been released. Foxx’s daughter, Anelise Foxx, 18, was noted by some outlets as overseeing the event, though organizers did not respond to requests for comment.
Party Details and Aftermath
The Halloween gathering, advertised as a multi-day festival featuring performances, carnival rides, and musical acts, had drawn hundreds of attendees in costume. Social media posts from Foxx’s Instagram Stories showed performances by artists including Offset, DJ Stevie J, and OhGeesy, though it remains unclear whether Foxx was present during the altercation. The event’s rescheduling and the subsequent law enforcement response have raised questions about security protocols at private gatherings of this scale.
Authorities have not disclosed whether the stabbing was connected to any specific incident at the party or if additional arrests are pending. The investigation continues as officials review surveillance footage and interview witnesses.
