Earlier this week, Atlanta’s Live 5 News reported that after a nearly two-month investigation, an arrest has been made in connection with the theft of Beyoncé’s hard drives. According to police officials, the alleged thief, Kelvin Evans, had been serving time in jail regarding a parole violation. Since being linked with the alleged theft, Evans now faces a charge of entering an automobile with intent to commit theft, Live 5 reports.
Back in July, a choreographer and dancer for Beyoncé revealed that a rental car they were using had been broken into. An incident report taken by police confirmed that inside the vehicles were at least five jump drives. These drives contained “watermarked music, some unreleased music, footage plans for the show, and past and future set lists.”
Surveillance Video Caught The Vehicle Used To Commit The Crime, According To The Incident Report
A pair of AirPods, a MacBook Pro, and two suitcases had also been taken, according to the report. The incident report also contains a description of the vehicle — a 2025 Hyundai Elantra with Georgia plates. Security cameras in the parking garage also captured the incident. The next day, the vehicle’s owner was later contacted by police. They revealed they were renting the car out to “help pay bills,” the report said.
Not long after, the police quickly tracked down the vehicle and eventually found the driver. A woman told police she’d picked up the Elantra from her mother, who’d rented the car from the owner. The woman would later be taken into custody for marijuana possession.
She would also tell police that Evans, who happens to be her uncle, had asked her to pick him up. He reportedly told her that he needed to use the car to go to a “friend’s house.” Upon his return, the vehicle had four black bags inside it. Evans’ niece said he told her to meet him at her aunt’s apartment to drop off the bags. Evans, his niece, and a small child were later caught on surveillance cameras removing bags from the car. He returned to the car later that night and put a black bag in the trunk. Then he left on a bicycle.
