Shocking footage emerges of subway murder suspect
A disturbing video has surfaced showing what appears to be Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, the Guatemalan migrant accused of setting a woman on fire aboard a Brooklyn subway train, engaged in a drunken rant. The video, which was first shared on social media platform X, shows a man speaking about “drinking beer” and making disparaging remarks about people.
The clip, which has yet to be verified by authorities, captures the man saying, “I don’t give a s**t about people,” while much of his speech remains unintelligible. The video has reignited outrage over the tragic subway incident and the suspect’s presence in the U.S.
Arrest and charges
Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, 33, was arrested following the horrifying incident in which he reportedly set a sleeping subway passenger on fire. Authorities have charged him with first- and second-degree murder, as well as arson.
The suspect, according to reports from the New York Post, had previously been deported from the U.S. but managed to re-enter the country illegally.
Online outrage and calls for justice
Social media users expressed their outrage over the incident and the video. Many condemned Zapeta-Calil’s alleged actions, with some questioning how he was able to fund his lifestyle.
“Taxpayers’ money that he’s able to purchase alcohol and a place to lay his head!!” one user commented. Another lamented the lack of capital punishment in New York, saying, “It’s unfortunate that New York does not have the death penalty.”
Others analyzed the suspect’s demeanor and speech in the video, with one user interpreting his words as a sign of being “very, very high” and noting the influence of a Mexican accent despite his Guatemalan roots.
The suspect’s behavior has led many to label him a “total sociopath.” One user noted reports that Zapeta-Calil allegedly watched his victim burn to death with a calm demeanor, further fueling public outrage.
Broader implications
The incident has sparked heated debates on social media about border security, deportation policies, and public safety. “When will the American people demand repercussions from those who funded and allowed the flood?” one user asked. Another called for immediate deportations, stating, “If the U.S. doesn’t work right, then the world won’t work right.”
The tragic incident, combined with the disturbing footage, has intensified demands for stricter immigration enforcement and harsher punishments for violent crimes, particularly those committed by repeat offenders who re-enter the country illegally.
A grieving city demands answers
As New Yorkers reel from the shocking crime, the video serves as a grim reminder of the challenges faced by law enforcement and policymakers in ensuring public safety. The victim’s death has left an indelible mark on the city, with many calling for justice to be served swiftly and decisively.
