Snellville, Georgia — A high‑profile investigation is unfolding involving reality TV figures Kirk and Rasheeda Frost—their son, Ky Lasheed Frost, 24, has been named as the prime suspect in the fatal shooting of Atlanta rapper Tevin “T‑Hood” Hood. The deadly incident onAugust 8, 2025, has thrust two families into turmoil and captured the attention of fans, media, and the hip‑hop community. The following is an in‑depth look at the known facts, unanswered questions, and the broader repercussions of this tragic event.

The Incident: What Happened That Night

On the evening of August 8, Gwinnett County police responded to reports of a domestic disturbance at a residence inSnellville, Georgia, around7:00 p.m. Upon arrival, officers found T‑Hood suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was promptly transported to a local hospital but succumbed to his injuries shortly thereafter. T‑Hood was 33 years old, known for tracks like Perculator,Ready 2 Go, and collaborations such as Big Booty with B.o.B.

The Suspect: Ky Frost Named

Investigators have identifiedKy Lasheed Frost, the eldest son of Kirk and Rasheeda Frost—stars of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta—as the primary suspect in the shooting. Multiple outlets, including AJC, TMZ, iHeartRadio, Blavity, and Atlanta Black Star, report police are focusing solely on Ky, with no additional suspects being sought at this time.

Police say the case is being investigated as a possible act of self-defense following an alleged domestic altercation. A spokesperson noted Ky had arrived at the house after a disturbance involving a female victim and then removed himself from the residence before the shooting occurred. He has since been taken into custody and interviewed.

To date, no charges have been filed. The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities are reviewing whether the use of deadly force was legally justified

The Relationship: T‑Hood and Kelsie Frost

T‑Hood was romantically involved with the Frost family’s daughter, Kelsie Frost, aged 30. According to T‑Hood’s sisters, social media posts and livestreams allege Kelsie “set up” her brother by calling for help during a dispute with her boyfriend—which allegedly led to Ky’s arrival and the subsequent fatal shooting. These are serious allegations, but as of nowunverified by law enforcement.

Kelsie responded emotionally on Instagram, vehemently denying any involvement in orchestrating the shooting. She wrote, The love of my life is GONE… I don’t condone this s**t in any way, shape, form or fashion. I am sick to my stomach.” She emphasized she did not call her brothers or anyone else to intervene, saying, We handled our business in private.”

Family Accusations, Public Outcry, and Social Media

T‑Hood’s sisters took to Instagram with heartfelt and angry messages. One sister wrote:

@frostedkae [Kelsie] set my brother up… her brother shot him… they cleaned it up and hid the brother so the police wouldn’t find the weapon.

Another added:

Her two brothers… one left the scene… the one that lives on the property is hiding… Everything will come out, just wait.”

These posts have sparked widespread speculation and condemnation online. The family of T‑Hood is pursuing justice while grappling with grief and anger, and a GoFundMe has been launched to support funeral costs and provide for his young daughter

Legal Landscape: Self‑Defense or Homicide?

Investigators are weighing whether Ky’s actions may be legally permissible. Preliminary statements suggest the shooting occurred after a domestic dispute, possibly involving physical harm to a female party. Gwinnett County police indicate Ky and witnesses have cooperated fully, but it remains unclear how the evidence will align with claims of self-defense.

No other individuals are currently being investigated. Authorities say they will release additional updates “when available.”

Repercussions for the Frost Family and Public Impact

The incident has thrust the Frost family—from reality TV fame to the center of a homicide investigation. Kirk Frost has not issued a direct statement; instead, he shared a screenshot of the police release and a media story on social media.

Rasheeda, slated to perform at One MusicFest in Atlanta this October, has not publicly addressed the incident.

The Atlanta hip-hop community is reeling. T‑Hood, a rising talent in the city’s “freaky trap” scene, had a growing fanbase eager to see his career flourish. His death is both a personal loss and a cultural blow.

Conclusion

The tragic death of T‑Hood has upended the lives of many. What began as a domestic incident has evolved into a complex investigation entangling a reality TV family’s son, accusations of betrayal and cover-up, and a grieving community demanding answers.

Ky Frost remains the primary suspect—but without formal charges, the question of culpability remains open, hinging on the unfolding legal and factual review. Meanwhile, T‑Hood’s family mourns a life extinguished too soon, and the Frost family faces profound scrutiny and heartbreak.

As the case develops, clarity may come—but for now, the truth remains intensely contested, deeply emotional, and tragically unresolved.
