Donald Aronow, 59, was shot dead on February 3, 1987, in Miami, Florida. He was killed in his car on NE 188th Street, an area called Thunderboat Row where several boat manufacturers operated. Aronow had just left a meeting and was driving toward his North Bay Road home when a blue Lincoln Town Car pulled up beside him and the shooter fired multiple rounds, killing him instantly.

The investigation pointed to business rivalries in the offshore powerboat world. Benjamin Barry Kramer, an offshore race boat builder and competitor, was accused of arranging the killing and allegedly hired Robert Bobby Young as the triggerman for a reported payment of $60,000. Kramer and Young were arrested and later convicted; Kramer received a life sentence without parole and Young received a lengthy prison term. Some questions about whether others were involved were reported to remain unresolved.

If anyone knew Aronow, his movements that day, or had information about business disputes in the offshore racing scene, please share what can help clarify unanswered aspects of the case.
