Ventura County Sheriff's Office in California Says No One Was Stabbed at Hidden Valley Party of About 3,000 Guests: Two Juveniles Booked, Three Investigations Ongoing under Case 26-146404
Hidden Valley, Ventura County, California — Authorities are seeking videos and photos from a massive party in unincorporated Hidden Valley where altercations and other incidents led to two arrests, the Ventura County Sheriff's Office said, and its investigation has shown that an initially reported stabbing did not occur.
Deputies were called about a juvenile slashing another juvenile with a knife in the 1300 block of West Potrero Road on November 7 shortly before 10 p.m., according to a sheriff's news release. Deputies arrived to a party with an estimated 3,000 guests. The unincorporated area with large, sprawling properties lies near Newbury Park and Westlake Village.
The victim had been treated by on-site medical personnel, and the other juvenile was taken into custody and booked into the Juvenile Justice Center, sheriff's officials said. Their investigation has since shown the victim had not been stabbed but instead had suffered injuries in a mutual fight.
Detectives are still investigating the assault, Sgt. Sean Taylor said. He would not say who owned the home, citing the open investigation. Social media accounts indicate the event called Skvlkfest was hosted at the home of actor Jamie Foxx.
Sheriff's officials said the homeowner and party coordinator had hired private security and medical staff for the event. While at the scene, deputies witnessed a juvenile kick another person in the head. That juvenile was also taken into custody and booked into the juvenile center, and the victim was treated at the scene.
Another victim reported the next day being assaulted while in a mosh pit. He was knocked to the ground and punched and kicked to the point of losing consciousness, and when he came to, he said his cell phone and money had been stolen. Detectives later found his cell phone in the site's lost and found.
Sheriff's officials said all three investigations are ongoing. Anyone with videos is asked to upload them to the sheriff's evidence site under case 26-146404.
