What’s it?

Who is the woman in the viral photo?
According to the community notes, the photo was created using artificial intelligence to create a cryptocurrency scam. There is no truth behind the name and the photo.
On December 22, Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, an illegal immigrant from Guatemala who was described by authorities as a “crazy man” and who did not even know the victim, set fire to the unidentified woman’s clothing. The woman was sleeping when her clothes were set on fire. She continued to burn and when the New York Police Department tried to put out the fire, it was too late to save her.
A video has emerged showing an NYPD officer walking past the train station as the victim burns on the train, sparking shock and criticism from social media users and questioning why no one else helped the woman.
The accused was arrested from another railway station almost eight hours after the incident following a tip-off from the local community. Sebastian Zapeta was found to have entered the United States illegally in 2018 and was deported, but he re-entered the country.
