Sebastian Zapeta, a migrant from Guatemala deported in 2018, has been charged with murder and arson after setting a woman ablaze aboard an F train at New York's Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue subway station. Surveillance footage showed Zapeta igniting the victim’s clothes, killing her instantly. Police apprehended him with a lighter linking him to the crime. Authorities confirmed his illegal re-entry into the US after deportation. New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch called the attack "depraved." US Immigration and Customs Enforcement plans to detain Zapeta again. Officials pledged swift justice for the horrifying crime.
