| 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.
