Illegal Guatemalan Sets Woman Ablaze in NYC

Sebastian Zapeta Calil
Woman Burnt Alive in NYC

New York City – Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, a 33-year-old Guatemalan in the United States Illegally, has been arrested by NYPD and is accused of setting a sleeping female on fire and watching her burn to death (New York Post) in the New York City Transit Authority subway system.

If this crime isn’t horrific enough, people chose to take a video of it instead of helping this woman.

In security footage, you can see people walking by, one of which appears to be in a police or security guard uniform.

Also, one person, who looks like the accused Zapeta, was sort of trying to fan the flames.

Officer Walks by Burning Victim

What’s very weird is that the woman stands there not attempting to extinguish the flames, which does raise other questions that will hopefully come to light.

Early unconfirmed reports on X are that the NYC Subway Burning Victim was Amelia Carter, 29, a graduate of SUNY Purchase and obtaining her PhD from UPenn.

Authorities have said that Zapeta had previously been deported under the previous Trump administration, but had snuck back into the country at some point.
