(AP) -- Music producer Demetrius Lee Stewart, known as Shawty Redd, remains in a suburban Atlanta jail on a murder charge. 

During an initial court appearance Tuesday, Henry County Superior Court Judge Brian Amero set bond at $200,000, but the 28-year-old Stewart remained in the county jail Wednesday.  Stewart has been in the jail since his New Year's Day arrest. He is accused of shooting 35-year-old Damon A. Martin of Detroit during a quarrel at Stewart's home in Hampton, about 30 miles southeast of Atlanta. 

Stewart's lawyer, Marcia Fuller, said Wednesday that the judge hadn't signed the order by Wednesday afternoon and that Stewart would bond out once the order is signed. 

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