Atlanta: Choreographer and Dancer Victims of Car Break-In Linked to Beyoncé
Atlanta police are actively investigating a car break-in involving two individuals associated with the well-known artist Beyoncé. The incident took place on July 8, 2025, around 8:00 PM, in a parking deck at Krog Street Market.
The victims of the crime are Christopher Grant, who serves as Beyoncé’s choreographer, and Diandre Blue, a dancer for the artist. After parking their rental vehicle, a black Jeep Wagoneer, the two returned just an hour later to discover that their car had been broken into. The break-in resulted in significant damage, specifically to the trunk window of the vehicle.
During the theft, the suspects made away with two suitcases that contained sensitive personal information related to Beyoncé. In addition, hard drives were stolen; these hard drives contained watermarked music, unreleased tracks, plans for upcoming shows, and set lists for both past and future performances. Other items taken included personal belongings such as clothing, designer sunglasses, laptops, and AirPods Max headphones, increasing the total loss experienced by the victims.
Authorities have reported that fingerprints from the scene and surveillance camera footage have been obtained, which could provide essential evidence in identifying the culprits. Investigators have already secured multiple leads and have issued an arrest warrant for a suspect involved in the crime, although the individual’s identity has not been made public. Police efforts utilized Apple’s “Find My” service to track the stolen AirPods to an undisclosed location.
Additionally, a suspect vehicle has been identified in connection to the break-in; it has been described as a red 2025 Hyundai Elantra bearing a Georgia license plate. The police dusted the victims’ SUV for fingerprints to help with potential identification, but the results regarding possible suspects remain unclear as the investigation continues.
Beyoncé is scheduled to perform in Atlanta on July 14, 2025, which is notable as it marks the conclusion of her four-show run in the city. This high-profile performance may have drawn attention to the area and made it a target for criminal activity. As the investigation progresses, authorities are urging the public to remain vigilant and adopt safety measures to help prevent becoming victims of similar thefts.
