At 5 pm yesterday, Rigoberto Alpízar was buried next to his mother in a ceremony attended by his wife, family, friends and concerned citizens wishing to express their condolences.  It was one week ago that US Air Marshals shot dead the Costa Rican, a naturalized US citizen, on the jetway at the Miami airport.

His wife, Anne Buechner, did not make any statements to the press, but his siblings expressed their appreciation for support shown by people worldwide and remembered their brother as a special person who always helped the family and was kind.
