LAPD Probes Attempted Murder After Knife Attack at ComplexCon That Left Rapper Lucki Bloodied

The investigation raises fresh scrutiny of festival security and artist entourages as police work to identify suspects and piece together video and eyewitness evidence.

Overview

  • A parking‑lot brawl during ComplexCon on Oct. 3 left four people wounded in what police say appeared to be a knife attack, and officers classified the case as an attempted murder.
  • Video and eyewitness clips circulated widely online showing Lucki with a visible laceration near his face or neck as others helped him into a vehicle.
  • Playboi Carti was present in footage and observed the confrontation from a vehicle, but reporters and police say there is no verified evidence that he personally attacked anyone.
  • The LAPD has made no arrests and has not identified suspects, and ComplexCon said its security team and police responded immediately while some on‑site activities were paused.
  • Sources close to Lucki and his social posts indicate he is mobile and recovering, and the episode has revived questions about how festivals manage artist movement and crowd safety given prior social‑media tensions between the artists.
