Atlanta Rapper T-Hood Cleared
The district attorney's office declined to file charges against Atlanta rapper T-Hood in connection to a recent shooting incident in Gwinnett County. The decision comes after a review of the evidence and brings relief to the artist and his supporters who had closely followed the legal proceedings.
- The decision not to press charges was based on a determination of self-defense after a review by both the Gwinnett County Police Department and the District Attorney's office. - The shooting of the 33-year-old rapper, whose real name is Tevin Hood, occurred on August 8, 2025, at a residence in unincorporated Snellville. - The incident stemmed from a domestic disturbance that resulted in injuries to a woman; the shooter remained at the scene and cooperated with the investigation. - An autopsy ruled Hood's death a homicide, revealing he sustained multiple gunshot wounds to his back, abdomen, and legs. - Ky Frost, the son of "Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta" personalities Kirk and Rasheeda Frost, was identified in a police report as the shooter. At the time of the incident, Hood was reportedly dating Frost's sister, Kelsie. - District Attorney Patsy Austin-Gatson stated there was not sufficient evidence to bring charges in what she described as an "unfortunate tragedy." - Hood's family had hired an attorney and publicly called for justice and more clarity regarding the circumstances of his death. - The District Attorney's office confirmed they investigated whether a ride-share driver witnessed the shooting but found no such witness was present.
