Atlanta-based music producer, rapper and songwriter 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.
Stewart, 28, 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.
Stewart has worked with Young Jeezy, Lil Jon, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg and other major artists.
