Guatemalan migrant arrested for setting sleeping NYC subway rider on fire, watching her burn to death: cops
A Guatemalan migrant has been arrested for allegedly lighting a sleeping subway rider on fire in Brooklyn on Sunday morning — then watching as his innocent victim burned to death in what the police commissioner called “one of the most depraved crimes one person could possibly commit.”
The savage killing — which happened at about 7:30 a.m. on an idling F train at the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue station — shocked commuters, MTA workers and NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, who said Sunday that the heinous crime “took the life of an innocent New Yorker.”
“As the train pulled into the station, the suspect calmly walked up to the victim, who was in a seated position at the end of a subway car … and used what we believe to be a lighter to ignite the victim’s clothing, which became fully engulfed in a matter of seconds,” Tisch said at a press conference.
Patrolling cops smelled and saw the smoke, then followed it to the flame-covered woman, the commissioner said.
They extinguished the blaze, but the victim died at the scene.
Officials said the 33-year-old suspect came to the US in 2018 from Guatemala. His legal status wasn’t immediately clear Sunday night.
Horrifying video obtained by The Post showed the suspect calmly looking on as flames consumed the still-unidentified woman, who stood inside the open subway car door.
Critics blast bystanders who stood by while illegal migrant allegedly burned woman to death on NYC subway: ‘Daniel Penny effect’
New Yorkers were up in arms Monday one day after an illegal Guatemalan immigrant allegedly burned a sleeping straphanger to death aboard a Brooklyn subway train — while bystanders did nothing.
Horrifying video footage of the incident shows at least three gawkers — one of them seen filming the shocking fatal blaze on his phone — and an NYPD cop standing outside the subway car as flames engulfed the unidentified victim after the Sunday morning attack.
“Nobody came to her aid,” said Guardian Angels founder and community activist Curtis Sliwa. “There’s no doubt that people don’t want to get involved. It’s the Daniel Penny factor. It’s frozen people. They’re saying to themselves: ‘I don’t want to get jammed up like Penny.
“People should have been running over to the woman on fire. They did nothing. They said nothing,” Sliwa said, calling the reluctance of bystanders to intervene “the Daniel Penny effect.”
Penny, a 26-year-old ex-Marine, was charged with murder last year for fatally choking vagrant Jordan Neely after Neely aggressively confronted frightened passengers on a Manhattan subway car.
‘Shame On You!’: Tom Homan Lights Into Kathy Hochul After Illegal Migrant Allegedly Burned Woman To Death On Subway
Border czar-designate Tom Homan on Monday criticized Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York after a woman died Sunday after a migrant allegedly lit her on fire while on the New York City subway.
Sebastin Zapeta, a 33-year-old Guatemalan illegal immigrant previously deported by the Trump administration, was arrested Sunday by the New York Police Department in connection with the incident, Fox News reported. Homan ripped Hochul, who touted the subway’s safety after the killing, about the incident.
“This is another example of an illegal alien killing American citizen. It’s almost a daily occurrence now. You know, because [a] historic number of criminal aliens [are] walking the streets because of this administration’s policy and sanctuary jurisdictions and lax immigration enforcement,” Homan told “Fox and Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade. “ICE has their hands tied. Secretary Mayorkas have given them priorities that they can’t even go arrest illegal alien anymore unless is he convicted, convicted, of a serious crime then maybe they can arrest him. So this is on this administration.”
Trump’s border czar slams Gov. Hochul for bragging about better subway safety after illegal migrant allegedly set a passenger on fire
President-elect Donald Trump’s no-nonsense border czar Tom Homan slammed New York Gov. Kathy Hochul for boasting on X that she had improved subway safety just hours after an illegal migrant allegedly burned a sleeping passenger to death on an F train.
The accused killer was once deported back to his native Guatemala but later sneaked back into the US and availed himself of the shelter system in the Big Apple, where sanctuary status is the law of the land.
“Governor Hochul, shame on you. There’s nothing you can say that’s going to make this right in New York,” Homan said on “Fox & Friends” Monday morning as he ripped Hochul for supporting sanctuary laws and welcoming “thousands of illegal aliens to her state.”
Hochul’s office touted a decrease in overall subway crime in an ill-timed tweet coming hours after the fatal fire.
