SNELLVILLE, GA — The death of Atlanta rapper Tevin "T-Hood" Hood is being investigated as a possible self-defense shooting at a Snellville home, Gwinnett County Police said Tuesday.

While police have not publicly identified the suspect, several media reports say police have named the accused shooter as Ky Frost, the son of "Love and Hip-Hop: Atlanta" cast members Kirk and Rasheeda Frost. The latter is also an Atlanta rapper and former member of Da Kaperz.

Their daughter, Kelsie Frost, was Hood's girlfriend and was the focal point of rumors surrounding his death though she has refuted any claims against her, the Shade Room reported.

Hood was known for his songs "Perculator" and "Froze Time."
