A chilling act of violence unfolded in Brooklyn, New York, as a Guatemalan migrant with a history of deportation was arrested for allegedly setting a woman on fire aboard a subway train, leading to her tragic death.
Sebastian Zapeta, 33, is accused of the heinous crime, which took place on Sunday aboard a stationary F train at the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue station. Surveillance footage shows Zapeta approaching the victim, who appeared to be sleeping, and calmly igniting her clothing. Within seconds, flames engulfed the woman, leaving her no chance to escape.
“The depravity of this horrific crime is beyond comprehension,” said New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, calling it “one of the most heinous acts one human could commit against another.”
Zapeta, previously deported in 2018 after being apprehended crossing the border illegally into Sonoita, Arizona, re-entered the U.S. at an unknown time and location, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Officials confirmed that ICE plans to issue an immigration detainer once his charges and detention location are formalized.
The victim, whose identity remains undisclosed, was pronounced dead at the scene. After committing the act, Zapeta reportedly sat on a bench near the train and watched as first responders extinguished the flames. Hours later, he was arrested on the same subway line, with a lighter found in his possession.
The Kings County District Attorney’s Office described the crime as “gruesome and senseless,” vowing to pursue justice. “This act of violence against a vulnerable woman will be met with the most serious consequences,” their statement read.
As New York City grapples with shock and outrage, the incident raises renewed concerns about public safety on the subway system as well as the rampant illegal immigration apparent under the outgoing Biden / Harris administration. Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding Zapeta’s illegal reentry into the U.S. and his movements leading up to the attack.

This is the handiwork of bubble head Biden and those that pull his strings.
this is result of Soros employes and their policies of destroying countries one by one. USA’s time is up. The day his NGO’s (open society) enter this country will be the day we have to be worried about our future. NZ will fall much faster than US.
Mestizo genetics? (after all, this homicidal act mimics the Aztecs, Incans, and the Mayans with regards to homicidal / sacrificial behaviours)
Hopefully, this monster will get capital punishment!
These same set of behaviours are found in the narco-terrorist and drug cartel modus-operandi.

Two months ago I was shopping at P&S, and a very distinct MS-13 ‘member’ all tatted-up was pushing past other shoppers, and was very arrogant towards others in the store.
He also had inflammatory outerwear…
This infiltration by and of the Latin American Cartel members poses a very real threat to New Zealand. Where are the cops?
Why, they’re arresting ‘patched gang members’…
This is why responsible and vetted New Zealanders need their full firearms rights restored, to protect against such people who are coming here until the immigration tap is turned-off and these narco-terrorist cartel members can no longer harm our country by being deported.
I blame the Uni-Party ‘politics’ for allowing this, while curtailing our freedoms here in Aotearoa / New Zealand!
This is why my group of retired Combat Veterans living here in NZ will vote once again for the NZ Loyal Party, and remain ready to defend our families and homes, since the successive governments never seem to.
Picture what happened in NYC happening in Auckland’s AT trains…
I hope Biden doesn’t pardon the Governor and all the rest that harboured this illegal, technically they can all be charged with accessory to murder.
Diversity strikes again…….anyone feeling enriched yet?
The video is horrific but what I can’t understand is why no one put the fire out? Was the train cabin completely empty, ie no other passengers? There was no one who saw what happened and went to the aid of the poor lady immediately?
Exactly. Just stood there and recorded it on their phones? Really?
No point doing anything dickhead Biden will have him released… who are these nasty nasty disgusting people advising who should be released? Donald lock them up and throw away the key!
