Court records reportedly detailed various past charges for Evans across over two decades, including armed robbery, aggravated assault, and vehicle theft convictions. He could reportedly face up to six years in prison if convicted of the alleged Beyoncé theft due to this prior history.

Back then, members of Bey’s team reported two missing suitcases from a parked Jeep Wagoneer in a garage on Krog Street. Per investigators suspecting forced entry, the robbery suspect smashed the vehicle’s rear window. As for what the perpetrator allegedly stole, this includes flash drives with watermarked, unreleased Beyoncé music, setlists, tour plans, and personal electronics like laptops and more.

Despite investigative efforts, authorities have been unable to recover digital materials the team lost due to the alleged theft. The incident reportedly involved various tour members like a choreographer and dancer, and authorities alleged a Hyundai Elantra visible in surveillance footage has something to do with the alleged theft. Per evidence and witness accounts, these claim Kelvin Evans possessed multiple black bags he stole from the Jeep Wagoneer. Reportedly, witnesses saw him leave the area on a bike after transferring the items.
