T-Hood went out in a savage way — hit multiple times, with at least one shot to the back, according to what TMZ uncovered. From a report by the Gwinnett County Medical Examiner, which TMZ Hip Hop got their hands on, T-Hood took hits to the back, abdomen, buttocks, and lower thighs on both sides.
Gwinnett County PD told TMZ that the autopsy didn’t drop any surprises; they already knew what they were dealing with. Despite T-Hood catching a bullet in the back, cops are still treating this like a self-defense situation.
This adds another layer to the case, which has already raised eyebrows in the hip-hop community. Many fans are questioning how a man with bullets in his back can still be considered the aggressor. For more context on similar hip-hop tragedies, check our coverage on recent rap industry shootings.
The Heated Confrontation That Turned Deadly
The report claims Hood pulled heat during a heated argument with two folks at his Georgia crib, but things escalated and someone opened fire in self-defense, tragically taking the rapper’s life on August 8. Who exactly pulled the trigger isn’t clear from the report.
Hood was rushed via ambulance to a hospital where he was declared dead. At that point, he was in a relationship with Kelsie, the daughter of “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” stars Kirk and Rasheeda.
Investigators were initially dispatched after reports of a dispute at the spot in Snellville, GA. Police have tagged Ky Frost—Kirk and Rasheeda’s son—as the main suspect.
So far, no charges have been filed; the police are still digging into whether the shooter was acting in self-defense, but the fact that Hood was shot in the back might complicate things.
The Family, Fans, And Industry Reactions
T-Hood’s sudden passing has left the Atlanta hip-hop community in shock. Friends, fans, and family continue to flood social media with tributes and demands for clarity. Many argue that labeling this as self-defense feels premature, especially when the autopsy makes it clear he was hit in the back.
Kelsie, who was romantically linked to T-Hood, hasn’t spoken out publicly yet. But the pressure is building on authorities to either file charges or provide more transparency.
