Atlanta Police Arrest Suspect in Beyoncé Tour Hard-Drive Theft as Files Remain Missing

Police say the stolen drives remain missing as detectives assess whether the suspect acted alone.

Overview

  • Atlanta police identified the suspect as Kelvin Evans and confirmed his late‑August arrest and booking in connection with the July 8 break‑in near Krog Street Market.
  • Evans faces charges of entering an auto with intent to commit theft and a parole violation, according to police and charging records.
  • Investigators report that none of the external hard drives, laptops, or other items taken in the burglary have been recovered.
  • The rental Jeep used by choreographer Christopher Grant and dancer Diandre Blue was burglarized, with five external drives containing unreleased music, rehearsal recordings, and production plans among the items reported stolen.
  • The Atlanta PD’s Larceny from Auto unit is leading the active investigation with support from Hapeville police to determine whether Evans acted alone, and Beyoncé’s representatives have not commented.
