Chilling Footage Reveals Brutal Assault, Sheds Light on T-Hood Shooting Probe

Jaden Patel here. If you enjoy grim reality served with a dry chuckle, you are in the right place.

Let us start with the obvious fact: surveillance video now at the center of a police probe shows rapper T-Hood physically assaulting his girlfriend, Kelsie Frost, inside their Gwinnett County apartment earlier this year. The footage, obtained by TMZ Hip Hop and corroborated by family sources and additional posted clips, depicts T-Hood pacing, then violently attacking Frost while she lies on the bed. Our reporting indicates the attack includes apparent choking and repeated blows. Photographs that sources say were taken in November 2024 show visible bruises and scratches on Kelsie’s face, neck, and chest.

Police have named Ky Lasheed Frost as the sole suspect in T-Hood’s death. Ky is the brother of Kelsie and the son of reality stars Kirk and Rasheeda Frost of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta. Sources tell us Ky lived in the same apartment building and, on the night T-Hood was killed, heard a violent disturbance coming from his sister’s unit. He allegedly ran to intervene, and during a confrontation between Ky and T-Hood a shot was fired that killed T-Hood. Gwinnett County police confirmed the incident occurred during a domestic disturbance and have surveillance footage from the night of the shooting. Authorities told reporters they are investigating the case as a possible act of self defense and have not made an arrest.

Context matters here because the surveillance footage showing T-Hood assaulting Kelsie is not a trivial detail. Sources connected to the Frost family told TMZ the newly surfaced video was recorded earlier this year and was not an isolated incident. A woman identifying herself as one of Kelsie’s friends also posted a different clip that similarly shows T-Hood striking Kelsie. Those videos, alongside the November 2024 photos, create a timeline in which allegations of prior abuse are documented with visual evidence.

Gwinnett County police are treating the shooting as a complicated case that may involve justification based on imminent harm. Detectives are reviewing both the apartment surveillance from the night of the shooting and prior footage that allegedly shows T-Hood attacking Kelsie. No arrests have been made as of now and investigators have not publicly announced formal charges against Ky. What this means for the legal outcome is still uncertain. The presence of recorded prior assaults could influence whether prosecutors pursue charges or whether self defense will be accepted as legally sufficient justification.

This story intersects celebrity, domestic violence, and criminal investigation. It raises immediate questions about how evidence will be evaluated and whether documented prior abuse will factor into a determination of lawful defense. It also places the Frost family, already public thanks to reality television, in an intensely scrutinized real life conflict where family intervention and firearms collided in tragedy.

For now, the facts on record are: surveillance shows an assault by T-Hood, photos suggest prior injuries to Kelsie, Ky Frost is the named suspect, police view the incident as a possible self defense shooting, and no arrest has been made. Expect investigators to piece together timestamps, witness statements, and video frames as they decide whether to file charges.

Final thought, because someone always wants one: this is why neighbors and ring cameras are the modern witnesses. Stay tuned.
