SEEKING ANSWERS: Ronald Gentile's son, Paul Gentile, and ex-wife Cathy Girten talk about their last moments with Ronald, who was robbed and shot while he was driving in the Coconut Grove area on Saturday. Mr. Gentile had traveled from Illinois to visit his son on his 17th birthday.Paul Gentile was looking forward to an afternoon at the movies with his father, who was visiting him from Illinois. The two planned to take in Superman Returns.

But, instead the 17-year-old spent the day at Miami Police headquarters pleading for the community's help in finding his father's killer.

Minutes after dropping his son at the Shops of Sunset Place in South Miami Saturday afternoon, Ronald Gentile, 54, was robbed and murdered in Coconut Grove.

Police think Gentile, unfamiliar with Miami-Dade, sought help from a stranger and was shot inside his rental car at the corner of Washington Avenue and Jefferson Street.''We think he pulled over to get directions,'' said William Moreno, a Miami Police spokesman.
