Arrest Made in Beyoncé Music Theft

PEOPLE magazine reported that Kelvin Evans has been arrested on suspicion of breaking into the vehicle of Beyoncé's choreographer and stealing flash drives with unreleased music.

Evans was arrested for "one count of entering an automobile or other motor vehicle with intent to commit theft or felony, and is being held on a $20,000 bond."

A rental car being used by Beyoncé's choreographer Christopher Grant and dancer Diandre Blue was broken into on July 8th, 2025, while it was parked in an apartment building garage prior to Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour concert in Atlanta, Georgia.

"The hard drives contained water marked music, some unreleased music, footage plans for the show and past and future set list," according to the police report obtained by PEOPLE.

Grant and Blue reported that clothing and laptops were also missing.

"Their rental Jeep Wagoneer was parked inside a deck on Krog Street while they dined nearby. When they returned, the rear window had been smashed and two suitcases were gone," according to Newsbreak/Digital Music News. "Stolen items included two Apple laptops and five thumb drives loaded with unreleased Beyoncé tracks and files related to her live shows."

An unidentified person told 911, "They have my computers, and it’s really, really important information in there. I work with someone who’s like of a high status, and I really need my computer and everything back."

"Detectives from the Atlanta Police Department’s Larceny from Auto Unit used a combination of digital tracking using stolen AirPods and the ‘Find My’ feature, as well as fingerprints lifted from the vehicle."

Additional evidence was gathered from surveillance cameras in the garage, and the statement of Evans' niece, the owner of the vehicle he was allegedly driving.

PEOPLE stated that Evans, who is being held at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, has previously been arrested for armed robbery, aggravated assault and entering an automobile with the intent to commit theft, with charges dating back to 2002.

The flash drives have not been recovered, according to CNN.
