Ky Frost, 24, the son of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta stars Kirk and Rasheeda Frost, was recently identified as one of the key suspects in the homicide of rapper T-Hood on August 8th. The incident took place inside T-Hood's home in Snellville, Georgia, following what officials described as a domestic dispute. T-Hood (born Tevin Hood) was dating Kelsie, Frost's elder sister, at the time.
The Frost family, noted for their long-running appearances on VH1's reality show Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, has been a recurring character in tales concerning Kirk and Rasheeda's personal and professional life. Ky and Kelsie have made recurrent appearances on the show.
This high-profile case has sparked interest in both the reality television and hip-hop worlds. Gwinnett County Police said no charges have been filed since the investigation is ongoing. Early reports from the police imply self-defense, as per Fox 5 Atlanta. Kelsie Frost has openly rejected her family's involvement despite mourning her partner's murder.
Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta: Details of the incident explored
T-Hood was shot at his residence in the 3900 block of Lee Road around 7 p.m. on August 8. Officers responded to allegations of shooting, offered medical assistance, and Gwinnett County Fire Rescue took the 33-year-old to a hospital where he died. Police claimed the shooting was the result of a domestic disagreement. Ky Frost was reportedly there and has been recognised as the main suspect. The investigators have stated that self-defence is being explored.
Authorities say the shooter fled following a physical argument but returned before the rounds were fired. They discovered no indication of participation by anyone outside the residence. T-Hood was dating Kelsie Frost, the daughter of Kirk Frost and Kellie Harris, thus connecting him to the Frost family. Kelsie, 30, starred on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta with her siblings.
Ky and Kelsie have participated in their parents' businesses, notably the Frost Bistro & Bar, and have been on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta. Their appearances and business positions helped them become recognized by the show's viewers.
T-Hood's hit singles were Ready 2 Go, Big Booty, and Percolator. His ties to Kelsie drew additional attention to his work in Atlanta’s hip-hop scene.
After news broke naming her brother as a suspect, Kelsie addressed the matter on Instagram Stories, dismissing what she described as “conspiracy theories” and expressing frustration at facing speculation while grieving.
"The love of my life is GONE. The man I lay with and cuddle every single night... is no longer here," she wrote.
She made it clear that she does not condone violence "in any way, shape, form, or fashion" and conveyed her displeasure with the situation. Kelsie denied asking her brothers to harm T-Hood or any involvement in his death. She chastised those who spread "weird and sick rumors" while she tried to absorb her loss and grief.
What is the status of the investigation?
Police are still examining the matter as a probable self-defense shooting. T-Hood's mother allegedly identified Ky as the suspected gunman, while official charges are still pending. The case has sparked widespread interest due to its intricate family dynamics and reality TV links.
The story demonstrates how personal tragedies may become public spectacles when they include reality television families, as seen on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta. The ongoing inquiry will eventually determine if charges are filed and what caused the tragic gunshot.
Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on VH1.
