The illegal alien accused of setting a woman on fire and then fanning the flames to kill her in New York City’s subway has now been charged with first and second-degree murder.
Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, a 33-year-old illegal alien from Guatemala, was arrested on Sunday and charged with first and second-degree murder on Monday after having been captured on subway surveillance footage allegedly setting a woman on fire on the F train’s Stillwell Avenue-Coney Island stop.
The woman, who died as a result of the fire, has yet to be identified by the New York City Police Department (NYPD) because her burns were so severe.
In a gruesome viral video, Zapeta-Calil can be seen watching the woman burn alive on the subway before seemingly getting up to fan the flames. In the video, the woman seems to be in a state of paralysis.
