The woman who was set on fire and burned to death on a New York City subway car has been identified as Debrina Kawam of New Jersey.
Shocking footage stunned the Big Apple as Kawam, 57, was seen engulfed in flames in horror scenes on the train near Coney Island on December 22.
She was allegedly set on fire by illegal immigrant Sebastian Zepeta, who cops say used a lighter before fanning the flames with his shirt.
Zepeta, 33, is facing murder and arson charges following the horror incident.
Officials used fingerprint data, dental records and DNA evidence to identify Kawam, and said she was believed to have been homeless. She was originally from Tom's River, New Jersey.
Kawam was reportedly sleeping on the subway car around 7:30am at the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue station in Brooklyn when she was set ablaze.
The footage of the moments after Kawam was set on fire went viral as it showed an NYPD officer walking past the fire while a man, allegedly Zepeta, watched on.
NYPD Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch told a press conference that officers who responded were not aware the suspect was on the scene at the time.
Hours after the shocking death, the NYPD released images of the suspect, showing him watching his victim burning to death before he casually walks away from the scene.
Zapeta eventually boarded the F line again later in the day, and he was arrested on the subway after he was flagged by high schoolers whop recognized him from the police images.
NYPD officers alerted MTA, who stopped the train eight stops north from the sighting at Herald Square in Midtown Manhattan. Cops boarded the subway and detained Zapeta as he sat in a busy carriage, as caught in dramatic videos shared online.

I believe in wild west justice. He was seen committing the crime, take him to the nearest tree and string him up.
Can’t recall the DM ever using the words, “illegal immigrant.”
I’m surprised they haven’t built a pedestrian Chunnel to keep the death toll down.
The COP that WALKED BY SHOULD BE FIRED!
He may get the the death penalty but only after 20 or 30 years on death row after a trial in a year or two.
To think, Britain fought like Hell to keep the Nazi’s from crossing the channel. The Britons of the past would be ashamed of today’s Britons.
Is this a 2nd one? I saw the pictures
Evil is territorial.
NYC is occupied by Satan.
Daniel Penny was a former Marine who resisted the occupation and Satan.
He has been put on trial and is still being DEMONIZED for doing the right thing.
George Floyd was an addict whose death resulted from an overdose.
So was the guy who Daniel Penny neutralized.
I live in the Biblebelt as my screen name indicates.
We have plenty of violence, but rarely are the victims as innocent as we see on the streets of these third world s**tholes like NYC.
One commenter mentioned the attitude of the policeman on the scene.
If you have been reading the NYP, there is very ugly sex scandal going on in the NYPD in the upper level ranks.
The usual suspects are involved, need I say more.
Don't dog pile.on me. It's just an observation. Haven't seen news of a living someone set on fire in a loooong time.
SMH 🤦♀️🤦♀️
or “illegal ALIEN”
Maybe brandon will give him a pardon???
We need to keep America for Americans...
Agreed, but also another candidate for crazy dem pardon.
We need to send a message to both illegals and criminals.
And it doesn’t fall within the broken, perverted legal system.
“She was allegedly set on fire by illegal immigrant Sebastian Zepeta”
She definitely NOT allegedly set on fire, she was set on fire.
It takes a remarkablely wicked person to do what he did. Remarkedly wicked and vile individual. In a sane worlld, he should quicly be given the same exact death as a public spectable.
