Illegal alien Sebastian Zapeta, 33, is accused of setting a woman on fire, killing her as he fanned the flames with his coat, has been indicted by a grand jury, which in New York, may be considered surprising since the woman was white.
The woman's name has not been confirmed by the NYPD but it was posted on X that her name is alleged to be Amelia Carter.
Finally, officers and a transit worker grabbed a fire extinguisher and attempted to save the woman, but she died on the scene, CBS reported.
“Unbeknownst to the officers who responded, the suspect had stayed on the scene and was seated on a bench on the platform just outside the train car, and the body worn cameras on the responding officers produced a very clear, detailed look at the killer,” Tisch said on Sunday. “Three high school age New Yorkers called 911 to say that they recognize the suspect. They saw something and they said something, and they did something.”
The New York Post reported that it is unknown how long he had been in New York, but law enforcement sources told the outlet that the man stayed at multiple taxpayer-funded migrant shelters around New York City. Those same sources told the Post that the suspect’s previous criminal history is “largely clean” except for entering the country illegally.
The horrific attack occurred on Sunday and people in the vicinity, including a police officer--I've been told--did nothing but look on to watch.
Zapeta was charged with murder and arson on Monday and the indictment was returned Friday.
Charges are issued when a prosecutor formally accuses someone of a crime, but an indictment happens when a grand jury decides there's enough evidence, presented by the prosecutor, to charge someone.
Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez announced to reporters that the indictment against Zapeta will be made public on January 7. If Zapeta is found guilty on the most serious charge, he could face life in prison without the possibility of parole.
"This was a malicious deed. A sleeping, vulnerable woman on our subway system," Gonzalez stated, as reported by the Associated Press.
The incident took place on a Sunday where Zapeta was seen on video surveillance watching an unidentified woman stand in a subway car while she was burning. The video also captured other passengers, including a police officer, passing by without intervening.
Investigators have stated that Zapeta and the woman had no prior relationship or interaction before Zapeta allegedly lit a lighter and threw it at her. She was a stranger, a victim of our empty-suited leaders who do nothing about our nation's sovereignty,
“The suspect used what we believe to be a lighter to ignite the victim’s clothing, which became fully engulfed in a matter of seconds,” NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Sunday at a press conference on CBS.

Big effing deal. At least the kids did something but no bystander had the guts to help her.
Zapeta, an obvious piece of human waste, reportedly entered the U.S. illegally in 2018 during the first Trump administration. He was deported within days but then re-entered the U.S. again and traveled to New York where he was living in a migrant shelter.
The New York Post reported that it is unknown how long he had been in New York, but law enforcement sources told the outlet that the man stayed at multiple taxpayer-funded migrant shelters around New York City. Those same sources told the Post that the suspect’s previous criminal history is “largely clean” except for entering the country illegally.
Again, big effing deal. Just because his previous record is "largely clean," suggesting that it wasn't "squeaky clean," doesn't mean it was okay for him to be in the country living off of taxpayer money. And the "largely clean" no longer seems to apply.
We elected Donald Trump to fix this problem among the many others the Biden administration has created. Let's hope he can do it--we know he will try his level best.
