"We are here today because of this horrific crime that has taken place. This crime should not have happened. The slogan in this city is 'if you see something, say something.' But no one said something. No one did nothing. They just watched this young lady burn on fire alive." - Rev. Kevin McCall, emphasizing the need for community vigilance.
"While McCall commended the authorities for catching Zapeta-Calil, he blamed Mayor Eric Adams and Gov. Kathy Hochul for not doing enough to ensure subway safety and prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future."
"The Brooklyn District Attorney's office on Tuesday charged Sebastian Zapeta-Calil - the man suspected of committing the heinous act - with first-degree murder, highlighting the severity of the crime and the urgent need for enhanced safety measures."
