A 33-year-old Guatemalan man, Sebastian Zapeta, has been charged with murder and arson after allegedly setting a woman on fire on a NYC subway train.
Zapeta was arrested six hours post the incident where he ignited the clothes of a seemingly dozing woman on a Coney Island subway train.
The police revealed there were no previous interactions between Zapeta and the unidentified victim, and he was found with a lighter in his pocket.
Having previously entered the US unauthorized in 2018, Zapeta was deported shortly thereafter, but the specifics of his subsequent re-entry remain unknown.
