Media reports from South Africa indicate that reggae icon,
Lucky Dube, who less than two months ago performed at
Afrifest in Minneapolis, was gunned down in a carjacking
in Johannesburg. He was 43.
The reports say Lucky Dube was attacked immediately after
dropping off his son in Rosettenville, a suburb of
Johannesburg.
Police Captain Cheryl Engelbrecht told journalists the
incident took place at around 8:20p.m local time.

"His son was already out of the car. When he saw what was
happening, he ran to ask for help," Engelbrecht said.
Lucky Dube headlined a sold-out show at First Avenue in
Minneapolis on Aug. 20, to mark the end of Afrifest. Read
