Breaking News: Atlanta Producer Shawty Redd Turns Himself In For Murder, Claims Self-Defense

Details are sketchy right now, but the man who gave us hits like Young Jeezy's 'Trap or Die' and Snoop Dogg's 'Sensual Seduction' is in an Atlanta jail awaiting to be arraigned on Murder 1 charges.

According to GyantUnplugged:

In the early morning of January 1st, Demetrius Stewart (aka Shawty Redd) was at his home with another individuals who was not an intruder.

Comment by JaQuetta on January 1, 2010 at 10:50pm: Damn, that's a horrible way to start the new year off! I hope it doesn't set a tone for the 2010. Wow I thought my life was going terribly bad but Shawty Redd has a little more to complain about I guess? I will keep him and the victim's family in my prayers.

Awwwwwhh it's kinda nice how he turned himself in. Tells us how he feels guilty and can take it. Most people can't.
Yea it is self defense, but maybe he felt just too guilty and I don't blame him. I'd probably do the same thing.

But also think about it: if you just shot and killed a person, what would you do? Wait for the police to find you? Or turn yourself in? I chose the latter because then I would be seen as a better person and I would get less time. Right?

Or is he just a honestly good guy?
