Atlanta Police Arrest Suspect in Theft of Beyoncé Team’s Unreleased Music Drives

Surveillance footage led police to a suspect now held on $20,000 bail, with the stolen devices still missing.

Overview

  • Investigators tied Kelvin Evans to the July 8 break-in of a rental SUV used by choreographer Christopher Grant and a dancer two days before the Atlanta tour stop.
  • Stolen property included USB drives holding unreleased music and concert plans with digital watermarks, along with MacBooks and personal items.
  • Evans, who has prior convictions, was initially detained in late August on a parole violation and is now charged with vehicle break-in in Fulton County.
  • Bail was set at $20,000, and police say the drives and laptops have not been recovered.
  • A 911 call obtained by CNN captured a victim saying the computers contained “really, really important” information, and Beyoncé’s representatives have not commented.
