Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, a 33-year-old illegal immigrant, has been charged with murdering a woman on a New York City subway by setting her on fire. The unidentified victim was asleep on the F train when Zapeta used a lighter to ignite her clothing and then fanned the flames with a shirt. Authorities found him with a lighter in his pocket post-incident. Despite his claims of memory loss due to heavy drinking, footage and witness statements implicate him directly. The event has ignited outrage over bystander's inaction, drawing comparisons to the Kitty Genovese case.
