The Gwinnett Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office has officially closed the case in the August 8, 2025, shooting death of Atlanta rapper Tevin Hood, known professionally as T-Hood, confirming no charges will be filed.
On Thursday, 11 Alive confirmed that District Attorney Patsy Austin-Gatson made the decision last month after what she described as an independent review of both the police investigation and Georgia law.
“The District Attorney’s Office has met personally with the family of Tevin Hood, and we offer our condolences again for their loss,” Austin-Gatson said.
According to Austin-Gatson, her office also reviewed the determination by the Gwinnett County Police Department that the shooting was an act of self-defense.
“Upon our review of the police investigation and the decision of Gwinnett County P.D. not to bring charges in finding it a case of self-defense, and after our own independent review of the facts and of the law, we find no cause to prosecute the shooting death,” Austin-Gatson said. “The facts of the case and the law align with the police determination that the shooting death was self-defense.”
Officers responded around 7 p.m. to a home on Lee Road in unincorporated Snellville after reports of a dispute and gunfire. Hood, 33, was found with multiple gunshot wounds and later died at a hospital.
Police previously stated the incident stemmed from a domestic disturbance involving Ky Frost, son of Kirk Frost and Rasheeda Frost.
“We specifically investigated whether there was a ride-share driver present who witnessed the shooting, and there was no witness there,” Austin-Gatson said. “Rather, there were neighbors who showed up after hearing gunfire. But they did not witness the shooting.”
“This Office finds that there is not sufficient evidence to bring charges for this unfortunate tragedy,” she added.
A candlelight vigil was previously held at Wade Walker Park as loved ones called for answers.
