Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez stated, "It is difficult to fathom what could lead someone to commit the atrocious and horrific murder with which this defendant is charged..." He emphasized the need for justice for the victim's loved ones and safety for New Yorkers in the subway system.
The incident occurred on December 22, 2024, when Sebastian Zapeta allegedly set fire to Debrina Kawam, who was sleeping in an F train subway car. Video evidence shows Zapeta first observing the fire grow before fanning it, leading to her tragic death.
