DDG and Blueface helped pack a Tarzana house party on Tuesday night, and it wrapped the way big neighborhood blowouts often do in Los Angeles: with multiple LAPD units rolling up and a crowd bolting in every direction. Bystander video and photos from the scene show a live goat mingling with guests and a shoulder-to-shoulder crowd that is exactly the kind of scene neighbors tend to call in when it lands on a quiet residential street.

LAPD called to Mecca Avenue after reports of fights

According to TMZ, law enforcement sources say officers were dispatched to a Mecca Avenue address in Tarzana around 10:40 p.m. for a gathering of roughly 200 people that included Blueface and other attendees. TMZ reports there were fights and "possible gang activity," and that five armed security guards were trying to keep things under control before multiple LAPD units arrived and the crowd, including the man leading the goat, scattered. The outlet embedded short social clips that show Blueface arriving and the chaotic scene that followed.

How Los Angeles treats big “private” events

The City of Los Angeles requires permits for many special events and funnels applications through a One-Stop Special Events process. Organizers are expected to secure Temporary Special Event approvals when an event triggers inspections, street closures, or extra municipal services. Per the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety’s Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, events that need extra city services must be permitted and inspected.

What the law says about loud party hosts

Under the Los Angeles Municipal Code, hosts and property owners can be held responsible when a gathering turns into a "loud party" or a public safety hazard. The code authorizes fines and a "Second Response Service Fee" so the city can recover special security costs when officers have to respond repeatedly. Police may issue First and Second Response notices, and the Office of Finance can bill any assessed fees under the city’s rules, according to the Los Angeles Municipal Code.

What we know so far

TMZ is currently the only outlet with a public account of the incident, and its report does not list any arrests or reported injuries. The site published photos and video clips from the scene and attributes the timeline of the response to law enforcement sources.
