The Gwinnett Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office has decided not to file charges in the August 8, 2025, shooting that killed Atlanta rapper Tevin Hood, known as T-Hood. Prosecutors determined that the evidence and current law align with the police's conclusion of self-defense.
District Attorney Patsy Austin-Gatson stated that the office conducted an independent review of the Gwinnett County Police Department's investigation files before reaching the decision. She extended her condolences to the victim's family and confirmed there is no legal basis for prosecution.
Police responded to a call around 7 p.m. on August 8 at a home in the 3900 block of Lee Road, an unincorporated area of Snellville, following reports of an argument and gunfire. T-Hood, 33, was found with multiple gunshot wounds and later died at the hospital. The incident stemmed from a domestic dispute, in which a woman was injured. The shooter remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators.
The prosecutor's office stated they verified information regarding a rideshare driver reportedly present at the scene. The results confirmed there were no direct witnesses; neighbors only appeared after hearing the shots.
T-Hood was known in Atlanta for songs such as “Perculator,” “Big Booty,” and “Ready 2 Go.” Previously, family and fans held a candlelight vigil at Wade Walker Park, calling for clarity in the case.
