Interact with him and select the “Get Briefed” option to begin the quest.

How to fix the ’Somebody’s planning a party in Crime City’ quest bug in Fortnite
To fix the ’Somebody’s planning a party in Crime City’ quest bug in Fortnite, the most effective solution is to restart the game completely and switch to a different game mode, such as Unranked Zero Build or a Ranked Battle Royale match, which can trigger the quest to start properly. Additionally, ensure you have progressed to Stage 3 of the “Wanted: Joss” Story Quests, as this stage is required for the quest to activate.
