Atlanta Man Pleads Guilty in Beyoncé Unreleased Music Theft and Gets Two Years in Prison

The stolen suitcases and hard drives remain missing.

Overview

  • Kelvin Evans pleaded guilty Tuesday in Fulton County and received a five-year sentence with two years in prison and three on probation.
  • He admitted to entering an automobile and criminal trespass, and the judge ordered him to stay away from the victims and the Krog Street parking garage.
  • Prosecutors showed surveillance of a red car at the break-in and later at an apartment, and tracking data placed stolen devices at that address in Hapeville.
  • The case moved from a July 2025 theft to an August arrest and an October indictment, and he changed his plea after jury selection and a day of trial this week.
  • Police report the suitcases and key hard drives are still missing, including watermarked unreleased music, tour footage plans, set lists, laptops, and other gear.
