He managed to slip into the building, away from the hassle of reporters
I think 'slip into' conveys the idea of 'esquivar'.

escaping the reporters harassment, he managed to enter the building.
he was being bothered by the reporters, so he had to "escape" from that particular place he was in and go somewhere else (escape to the building).
Something went wrong...
