Rising rapper T-Hood, whose real name was Tevin Hood, has died after being shot at a residence in Gwinnett County, Georgia. He was 33.
According to reports from Channel 2 Action News, the incident occurred on Friday evening around 7 p.m. at a home located on Lee Road in an unincorporated area of Lilburn, just outside Atlanta. Gwinnett County police responded to calls about a domestic dispute that had escalated into gunfire. Upon arrival, officers found Hood suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Emergency personnel administered life-saving measures on the scene before transporting him to a local hospital. Despite their efforts, Hood later succumbed to his injuries.
Authorities confirmed that one person was detained for questioning at the scene, but no arrests have been made as of now. The investigation into the shooting remains active, and police have yet to release further details regarding the nature of the dispute or the individuals involved.
Hood's family confirmed his death to local media, and tributes have begun pouring in across social media platforms from fans and fellow artists. Known for his distinct voice and growing influence in Atlanta’s underground hip-hop scene, T-Hood had developed a loyal following through his music and viral social media content.
His death comes just weeks after he posted an eerie comedy skit on Instagram in which he appeared in a cemetery dressed as a ghost — a video that some fans now find haunting in retrospect.
Gwinnett County police continue to urge anyone with information about the shooting to come forward as they work to determine what led to the fatal confrontation.
The hip-hop community mourns the loss of a rising artist whose career was tragically cut short.
