Debrina Kawam, a 61-year-old woman from New Jersey, was tragically killed in a random act of violence on a Brooklyn subway.
The suspect, Sebastian Zapeta, allegedly ignited a fire near Ms. Kawam, who was asleep, resulting in her death.
Identifying the severely burned victim proved challenging for investigators, delaying notification of her family and sparking online speculation.
Zapeta, facing multiple serious charges including murder, claims to have no memory of the incident, despite being shown evidence.
