Overview
- Kelvin Evans, 40, pleaded guilty Tuesday in Fulton County Superior Court to entering an automobile and criminal trespass and received a five-year sentence with two years in prison and three on probation, plus a stay-away order.
- The break-in happened July 8, 2025, when a rented 2024 Jeep Wagoneer used by choreographer Christopher Grant and dancer Diandre Blue was hit in an Atlanta parking deck and suitcases holding hard drives, laptops, headphones, and clothing were taken.
- Prosecutors played surveillance video showing a red car parking beside the Jeep, the removal of black suitcases, and later footage of Evans carrying them into a building tied to his sister, while tracking data placed the stolen MacBooks at a Hapeville address.
- Police and prosecutors say the suitcases with the hard drives have not been found, leaving the status of unreleased Beyoncé music, show footage, and set lists unclear.
- Evans was arrested on Aug. 26, 2025, indicted in October, pleaded not guilty in January, and changed his plea after jury selection began this week.
