A major breakthrough has been reported in the case involving the theft of Beyoncé’s confidential music files. According to U.S. authorities, a suspect of stealing Beyoncé’s unreleased music arrested after months of investigation and surveillance.
The incident reportedly occurred on July 8 during Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” tour stop in Atlanta. The rental vehicle of her choreographer and a dancer was broken into. The stolen items included suitcases and multiple hard drives. These hard drives allegedly contained unreleased and water-marked Beyoncé songs, along with important tour-related content including set lists and performance files.
Police identified the suspect as Kelvin Lanier Evans. He was tracked through a vehicle believed to be used during the burglary. Investigators relied on surveillance footage and tracking technology to locate him. The suspect of stealing Beyoncé’s unreleased music arrested in Hapeville, Georgia and taken into custody without further incident.
Authorities revealed that Evans faces several charges such as criminal intent to commit theft, breaking into a vehicle, and violating parole terms. He is currently being held in jail while the investigation continues.
Despite the suspect being detained, the stolen hard drives have not been recovered. This continues to worry Beyoncé’s management team, as unreleased music is highly sensitive property. Such leaks can cause financial losses and disrupt carefully planned release timelines.
The case has drawn significant attention in the entertainment world. It highlights the growing threat of intellectual-property theft targeting high-profile artists. Experts say digital storage devices have become valuable targets due to the commercial importance of unreleased songs and exclusive content.
Officials remain hopeful that ongoing efforts will lead to the recovery of the missing material. The suspect of stealing Beyoncé’s unreleased music arrested marks an important step forward, but investigators stress the case is far from closed.
Beyoncé’s team has not issued any official statement yet, as they await further results from law-enforcement efforts.
