A man has been indicted after allegedly stealing unreleased music from a vehicle belonging to Beyoncé in Atlanta in July.

The accused thief, Kelvin Evans, was indicted earlier this week, court documents show.

He's been charged with entering an automobile with intent to commit theft and criminal trespass.

A pre-indictment preliminary hearing in his case is now scheduled for Thursday, October 16.

 

A warrant previously obtained by 11Alive stated Atlanta Police received screenshots of where the stolen items were pinging. The items pinged at three locations: one on Hank Aaron Drive, Longreen Terrace, and another on North Avenue in Hapeville.

According to warrants, a crime analyst was able to look at surveillance cameras and locate the vehicle that was used in the theft via the license plate.

Police tracked the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop. However, the driver was taken into custody due to marijuana possession. The driver cooperated with detectives during the interrogation, and they were able to locate the suspect involved in the theft on Krog Street.

According to warrants, the driver told detectives that her uncle, Kelvin Evans, used the vehicle, and she later noticed four black suitcases in the back, but did not question it. The addresses from which the stolen items were pinged were also the same addresses connected to her uncle, according to the warrants.

During the investigation, police gained access to cameras on Hank Aaron Drive on July 8 and viewed footage of the driver's uncle. Police report the clothing of the person in the Krog Street theft matches the clothing on Evans in the Hank Aaron Drive video.
