Ky Lasheed Frost, the 24-year-old son of “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” stars Kirk and Rasheeda Frost, is named the prime suspect in the murder of rapper T-Hood. The 33-year-old artist, whose real name was Tevin Hood, was fatally shot at his Snellville, Georgia, home on August 8, 2025, in what police describe as a domestic dispute, a situation with parallels to the recent shooting of Munna Duke that tragically stemmed from a domestic issue. The case has sparked intense speculation, fueled by the victim’s connection to the Frost family and unverified claims swirling on social media.
T-Hood, known for his high-energy “freaky trap” tracks like “READY 2 GO” and “Girls In The Party,” was dating Kelsie Frost, the 30-year-old daughter of Kirk and stepdaughter of Rasheeda Frost. Authorities believe the shooting stemmed from a heated domestic situation involving T-Hood and Kelsie, with Ky Frost allegedly present at the scene. Gwinnett County Police have identified Ky as the primary suspect but have not yet filed charges, and details about the evidence remain undisclosed.
One person was detained at the scene for questioning, though their identity was not initially revealed. The investigation has drawn significant attention due to the Frost family’s reality TV fame and T-Hood’s rising status in Atlanta’s music community. Kelsie Frost took to Instagram Stories to express her grief, writing,
“The love of my life is GONE. The man I lay with and cuddle every single night… is no longer here.”
She firmly denied any involvement in T-Hood’s death and condemned rumors suggesting she orchestrated the shooting.
“I don’t condone this s**t in any way, shape, form or fashion,”
She added, addressing speculation that has spread across social media platforms.
Adding to the controversy, T-Hood’s sister made emotional claims in an Instagram livestream, alleging Kelsie had a role in “setting up” her brother and that Ky was now “missing” and possibly being protected by family. Authorities have dismissed these accusations, stating that no other Frost family members, including Kelsie or Kirk Frost, are under investigation. The unverified claims have nonetheless fueled online debates, with some fans expressing sympathy for T-Hood’s family while others urge caution against spreading misinformation, a scenario similar to our coverage of how a Dallas rap feud led to widespread chaos and tragedy.
Kirk and Rasheeda Frost, central figures on “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” since its early seasons, have remained silent on the matter. The couple, known for their music careers and business ventures like Frost Bistro & Bar, have not publicly addressed the allegations against their son or the tragedy. Meanwhile, Ky Frost’s whereabouts remain unknown, with no official confirmation of whether he is in custody or at large.
T-Hood’s death has left Atlanta’s hip-hop community mourning the loss of a vibrant talent. His recent performances, including a show at Juiceland in Atlanta in September 2024, had solidified his reputation as an emerging artist. Fans have taken to platforms like X to share tributes, calling for focus on his music rather than the surrounding rumors.
