Community leaders in Brooklyn gathered together to hold vigil for the woman that was burned to death inside a NYC subway train. The identity of the woman is still unknown.
According to police, the victim and the suspect were both riding the F train just before 7:30 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 22. Authorities say they don’t believe the two knew each other. When the train got to the end of the line, police say the suspect identified as Sebastian Zapeta calmy walked up to the seated woman and set her on fire with his lighter. The victim’s clothing then “became fully engulfed in a matter of seconds,” shared NYPD commissioner Jessica Tisch in a press conference on Sunday.
