Ventura County deputies responded to a series of violent altercations during a birthday celebration for Anelise Foxx, the 18‑year‑old daughter of actor Jamie Foxx, on Nov. 7. The event, part of the annual SKVLK Fest Halloween music festival, was held at the Foxx family’s mansion in Ventura County, California, after being postponed from Halloween due to rain.
Police response and injuries
According to a statement from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department, deputies were first alerted to a male juvenile who allegedly slashed another juvenile with a knife. Upon arrival, investigators found the alleged victim with a superficial laceration to the neck. Further investigation determined the injury resulted from a physical altercation rather than a stabbing.
While deputies were on the scene, a separate incident occurred in which a juvenile kicked another individual in the head. The suspect was taken into custody. The following day, a third victim reported being assaulted near the concert stage after being knocked to the ground in a mosh pit. He said he was repeatedly punched and kicked, lost consciousness, and had his phone and money stolen. Police later recovered and returned the phone.
Event details and attendance
The sheriff’s department estimates that more than 3,000 people attended the festival‑turned‑birthday party. SKVLK Fest, organized annually by Anelise Foxx, has grown from a family celebration into a large entertainment event featuring hip‑hop and R&B performers, carnival rides, and social‑media personalities. The 2026 lineup included Offset, OhGeesy, 310babii and SuperDuperKyle, with past performers such as GloRilla, Tyga, Ty Dolla $ign, Sexyy Red and YK Osiris.
Festival organizers issued a statement through PR STARPOWER, thanking Ventura County deputies, detectives, EMTs and security staff for their swift response. “Our thoughts are with everyone who was hurt, and we’re cooperating fully as the investigations continue,” the statement read. “But the record needs to be clear: no one was stabbed.”
Ongoing investigation
Authorities are still seeking video footage from attendees to aid the investigation. To date, two juvenile suspects have been arrested in connection with the incidents.
It remains unclear whether Jamie Foxx himself was present at the party; the actor has been filming in Australia, according to recent Instagram posts. Fox News Digital reached out to Foxx’s representative for comment but did not receive a response.
