Boulis, a 51-year-old Greek immigrant who founded both SunCruz and the Miami Subs (search) sandwich chain, was shot to death at the wheel of his car shortly after leaving his office in February 2001. Witnesses said a car pulled in front of Boulis, forcing him to stop, while a second person in another car pulled along the driver's side and shot Boulis three times.
