ATLANTA — A Georgia man admitted his guilt Tuesday in a vehicle burglary case that authorities say involved stealing unreleased tracks from music superstar Beyoncé.
Kelvin Evans, age 41, accepted responsibility in Fulton County Superior Court for automobile burglary and unlawful entry charges. Court officials sentenced him to serve two years behind bars, avoiding a trial that was set to begin this week.
The defendant targeted a rented Jeep Wagoneer in July that belonged to members of Beyoncé’s touring production team.
Christoper Grant, who works as a choreographer, and Diandre Blue, a professional dancer, reported to Atlanta authorities that they discovered their vehicle compromised on July 8, with a broken rear window and two missing travel bags.
The missing property contained computer hard drives with unpublished musical recordings, video content blueprints, and performance setlists, police documentation revealed. The crime happened just 48 hours before Beyoncé launched her four-show run at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium during her “Cowboy Carter” concert series.
Security footage documented the criminal activity. Authorities took Evans into custody the following month in August.
Law enforcement officials have not located the stolen hard drives or remaining property.
