According to Streetwork85NAWF (@Streetwork85N on X), one of Tevin Hood’s family members accused his girlfriend, Kelsie Frost, of being responsible for his death. Instagram user @jaydaalanae, who claims to be T-Hood’s sister, alleged that Kelsie, Kirk Frost’s daughter, had Kelsie’s brother shoot him.

Kirk is well known for being a Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta star, along with his wife, RaSheeda, a rapper and Kelsie’s stepmother. T-Hood’s girlfriend denied the accusations via Instagram Stories, as she issued a statement. Kelsie Frost wrote (via The Neighborhood Talk):

“I can’t sit back and let this narrative being created go on. The love of my life is GONE. the man I lay with and cuddle every single night…is no longer here. So as I want to ask for respect and privacy I won’t because I will always defend my baby. I don’t condone this s*** in anyway shape form or fashion. I am sick to my stomach. I don’t wish this on any one.”

She described the incident as a “total nightmare” and continued defending herself. Kelsie branded the accusations as “weird and sick rumors.” Frost asked readers to avoid listening to the rumors, conspiracy theories, and statements from people who weren’t present at T-Hood’s residence when the incident happened. She added:

“I hate I have to even post this but I wont let yall bully me and put the blame on me, making it seem like we weren’t one! I ain’t ever fathomed no sht like this. I love my man with my ENTIRE HEART! sending me threats, I am grieving too! I am hurting too! I didn’t harm anyone or ask anyone to harm him!!!”

Kelsie Frost asserted that she did not call anyone, including her family, while T-Hood was still healing after being shot three times. She claimed that they handled their business in private. Frost continued:

“For one (I’m the only girl) and I know we would be right back together that same night, (if anything) I don’t involve my folks in our business. I didn’t call a brother, I didn’t call anyone but HIS mother. THATS MY BABY!!!!!!! I don’t care who’s involved I DON’T CONDONE THIS!!! I am not okay!”

She chastised certain social media users for creating “some sick narrative.” Kelsie maintained that she would have never wanted T-Hood to get hurt or called anyone to cause him harm. She wrote:

“We always got thru anything together. and now I am alone in this. I will keep speaking my truth for my baby. He was leaving & he should still be here!!! I love you baby, please come visit me and take me with you.”

She again warned internet users to stop spreading the narrative while accusing her. She also posted an image carousel on Instagram dedicated to T-Hood and wrote:

“Just come get me baby please…..🙏 I can’t even type this. I love you papa. I can’t wait to hold you again.”

The Gwinnett County Police Department is investigating the incident as a homicide while confirming that a person was detained after the fatal shooting at T-Hood’s residence.
