McDONOUGH, Ga. — Music producer Demetrius Lee Stewart, known as Shawty Redd, is being held in a suburban Atlanta jail on a murder charge.

Henry County Police Capt. Jason Bolton says Stewart was arrested Friday morning.

Stewart is accused of shooting 35-year-old Damon A. Martin of Detroit in an argument at Stewart’s home in Hampton, about 30 miles southeast of Atlanta.

The 28-year-old Stewart is charged with murder and was being held without bond in the Henry County jail Saturday. His first court appearance is scheduled for Jan. 12. Police didn’t know whether Stewart has a lawyer.

Stewart has worked with Young Jeezy, Snoop Dogg and other major artists.

    I co-sign with all who posted so far. If im making money and it the lime light, damn “street cred”. I dont understand why some cats will give up going from 6-7 figures a year to 20 cents an hour in prison. if jail is a rite of passage for black men, consider me a sellout, square, or whatever.

    First off… The incident started when Mr. Martin started an argument with Mr. Stewart and in turn it lead to a physical altercation. Then Martin proceeded to threaten Stewart’s life by brandishing his firearm and like everybody who feels their life is in imminent danger you will defend yourself. While I don’t condone him killing Mr. Martin I do know Mr. Stewart and I know that if he did not feel like his life was threatened he would not have brandished his gun. He is not dumb, ignorant or any of the other names you guys are calling him. He is a very intelligent individual who made a terrible decision. Those of us who know him personally and have been around him know that this is not who he is. We are all praying for him and hope that witnesses will come forward and testify on his behalf that it was self defense.

    thats the problem that us black people are guilty of…too quick to judge someone or defame their character off of a damn article. You don’t know that man or the position that he was in. Guilty or not, who are you to assume the worse.smh Its a shame how ignorant people are.
