Snellville, GA — Investigators in Gwinnett County have taken a significant step forward in the murder case of Atlanta rapper Tevin “T-Hood” Hood. Police have formally identified Ky Lasheed Frost, the son of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta stars Kirk and Rasheeda Frost, as the primary suspect in the fatal shooting.
Fatal Shooting at T-Hood’s Home
The rapper was shot on the evening of Friday, August 8, 2025, at his Snellville home in the 3900 block of Lee Road, following what law enforcement described as a domestic dispute. Gwinnett County Police responded around 7 p.m., rendering aid to Hood before he was transported to a hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
Foul Play Allegations Surface
T-Hood’s family quickly took to social media, accusing his girlfriend Kelsie Frost—daughter of Kirk and Rasheeda Frost—of setting him up. Family members alleged that she contacted her brothers shortly before the shooting and implicated Ky Frost as the shooter. The family has accused the Frosts of using their celebrity status to influence the investigation.
Kelsie Frost responded via social media in a now-deleted post, denying any wrongdoing and pleading for respect amid her grief. She asserted she had called only T-Hood’s mother, not her own family, and claimed she would never orchestrate harm against him.
Investigation Underway
Authorities continue to investigate the case as a homicide. While one individual was detained and is currently being interviewed, no arrests have yet been made. Officials have not announced a motive, stating that the investigation remains active.
