The wake room was filled with light blue shirts.
Hugs, tears and anger were the postcard of Tuesday morning in the wake house from where the funeral procession left to say goodbye to
Marcos Iván Daloia
(38), the bus driver who died three days after being brutally shot while driving the trolleybus of the line K in Rosario.
He was the fourth victim of the wave of crimes against innocent people in response to the searches at the Piñero prison.
Marcos lived in the western part of the city.
He had three children and for a few years he had been driving the trolleybus on Line K or 121, which connects the Fisherton Concentration Market with University City.
Last night the farewell began at the Caramuto funeral home and ended around 11:30 when the funeral procession left for the cemetery to say goodbye.
Between applause and requests for justice, they accompanied him.
Marcos Daloia was shot on Thursday, March 7, and on Sunday, he finally died.
His death began a transportation strike that lasted four days and ended this Tuesday at 1 p.m. when many of his colleagues had to go directly from the cemetery to the buses to complete the route.

For three days Daloia fought for his life at the Clemente Álvarez Emergency Hospital.
He had been
shot in the head
while making the trip and was taken by ambulance, where he suffered cardiac arrest but they managed to revive him.
Finally they decreed brain death.
"Stop yesterday's show with tragedy"
"The only thing we want is to go through this as a family,"
his relatives told
Clarín .
They asked to be "left alone."
And
they questioned the viralization of the images of the unconscious man
in the middle of the street.
"Stop making a show about the tragedy we are going through
," they asked.
After 11 o'clock the funeral procession left with the remains of Marcos Daloia.

The Public Prosecutor's Office (MPA) asked the passengers of the trolleybus and the witnesses to come forward to testify in order to find the perpetrator of the shots.
In a statement, they asked that anyone who has seen something call 911 or the Intentional Homicide Prosecutor's Office.
crime wave
During the last week, drug violence raised the tension in Rosario.
There were bullets, four deaths and intimidating messages towards the Santa Fe government, towards those responsible for security, provincial and national, and also to journalists from national media who cover the current events that are shaking the city.
The first of the harsh messages had to do with last Tuesday when Héctor Raúl Figueroa
(42), a taxi driver , was shot dead
.
A day later, also at night,
Diego Alejandro Celentano
(32), another taxi driver, died after being shot five times by the passenger he was transporting in the Saladillo neighborhood, in the southern part of the city.
The last crime was on Saturday night when Bruno Bussanich was shot.
The beach attendant at a gas station who was shot to death at least three times by a hitman.
In the same sense as the bus driver's relatives, they spoke out around Bruno Bussanich: "From our place we ask you with the greatest of respect and with great sadness, that you please do
not continue publishing the images of the moment of the homicide
. The Repetition of that video permanently in the media is very distressing to us, at times offensive but, above all, it is traumatic for minors who do not escape social networks."
