57 YEAR OLD WOMAN,DEBRINA KAWAM, IDENTIFIED AS HUMAN TORCH ON N.Y. SUBWAY.
(CNN)The woman who was killed when a man intentionally set fire to her while she was sleeping on a New York City subway train earlier this month has been identified as Debrina Kawam, police said.
The 57-year-old woman resided in New Jersey, the New York Police Department told CNN. Police initially said Kawam was 61.
The New York City Office of the Medical Examiner determined the woman died by homicide caused by thermal injuries and smoke inhalation, according to a complaint filed in Brooklyn Criminal Court.
Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, a 33-year-old undocumented migrant accused of killing Kawam, was indicted Friday on charges of first- and second-degree murder and arson. He has yet to enter a plea and is due to be arraigned January 7.
During his initial court appearance, Zapeta-Calil claimed to have no knowledge of the incident, noting his alcohol consumption. Zapeta-Calil did identify himself in photos related to the attack, said Assistant District Attorney Ari Rottenberg.
CNN has reached out to Zapeta-Calil’s attorney for comment.
Kawam had a “brief stint” in the city’s shelter system and officials have spoken to her next of kin, Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday at a news conference.
“People should not be living on our subway system. They should be in a place of care,” Adams told CNN’s Mark Morales. “And no matter where she lived, that should not have happened.”
(GRA:Who can pay for that?)
Authorities took over a week to publicly identify Kawam. Investigators were using advanced fingerprinting and DNA evidence to try to identify her “badly burned” body, Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said last week.
The victim was initially believed to have been homeless, which complicated efforts to identify her, law enforcement sources previously told CNN.
