| Peter Tosh "Rastafari Is" |
 |
In 1987, Tosh appeared to be on the way to a
career revival. He was awarded a Grammy for
Best Reggae Performance in 1987 for No
Nuclear War. However on September 11, 1987
three men came to his house demanding money,
and when Tosh replied that he did not have
any with him he was shot dead, along with
disk jockey Jeff "Free I" Dixon. The leader
was Dennis 'Leppo' Lobban, a man whom Peter
had befriended and tried to help find work
after a long jail sentence. Leppo turned
himself over to the authorities, and was
tried and convicted in the shortest jury
deliberation in Jamaican history: eleven
minutes. He was sentenced to death, but his
sentence was commuted in 1995 and he remains
in prison. Neither of his two alleged
accomplices were found, though rumors persist
that both were gunned down in the streets.
