Heartbreak in Gwinnett County: The Final Chapter of Atlanta Rapper T-Hood (Tevin Hood)

1. A Night Shattered

On a quiet Friday evening in early August 2025, the neighborhood near Snellville, Georgia, turned into a scene of tragedy. Gwinnett County police were dispatched around 7 p.m. to a residence on Lee Road (in unincorporated Snellville) following reports of a dispute and gunfire. Upon arriving, they discovered 33-year-old Tevin Hood, known professionally as T-Hood, suffering from gunshot wounds. Despite paramedics’ efforts and a rushed hospital transfer, Hood was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.

T-Hood’s passing has been officially classified as a homicide, and while one person was detained at the scene, no formal arrest has yet been made. Authorities have stated there’s currently no active threat to the public, emphasizing that the individual detained is cooperating with investigators.

2. A Rising Voice Silenced

In Atlanta’s vibrant hip-hop scene, T-Hood had emerged as a rising voice. Tracks like “Perculator” (2020) and “Ready 2 Go” (2022) earned him attention and airplay, solidifying his presence in the local rap landscape. His energy and storytelling resonated with fans, and his upcoming single “Girls In The Party”, released in May, showcased his continued creative momentum.

Fans were recently reminded of his intensity and flair when he posted a playful, eerie music video on July 21, featuring himself as a ghost in a cemetery, promoting “Grave Diggerz.” In it, a white sheet marked with red paint stands in stark contrast to his dark humor—a scene now deeply jarring in light of his untimely passing.

3. A Complex Scene: Domestic Dispute & Emerging Suspects

Initial investigative reports from Fox 5 Atlanta paint a complex picture: the night’s events began with a domestic disturbance involving a female at the residence. Police noted that she had been injured during the altercation. A person—believed to be the shooter—arrived amid the conflict, aiming to defuse the situation, but a gunshot ended Hood’s life. That individual stayed on scene and is cooperating with detectives.

Adding another layer of intricacy, iHeartRadio sources report that Ky Lasheed Frost, son of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta stars Kirk and Rasheeda Frost, has been named as the primary suspect. Frost, 24, was reportedly dating Hood at the time. Rumors and social media speculation briefly turned to Hood’s partner, who publicly denied any involvement, calling for respect and privacy.No formal charges have been announced yet, but the community is watching closely as the investigation unfolds.

4. Atlanta Grieves—but Questions Remain

Social media erupted with grief and disbelief. Fans flooded his posts:

“This one didn’t age well,” referencing the cemetery clip—now chilling in retrospect.
“Your light was too bright for this world,” echoed heartfelt grief across comments.

His music producer, Deddotwill, wrote: “REST IN PEACE T-HOOD I LOVE YOU BROTHER.” The wave of mourning reflects T-Hood’s deep connection with listeners—he wasn’t just an entertainer but a relatable spirit in Atlanta’s rap fabric.
