Social media posts across platforms are claiming to name and show a smiling portrait of the woman who died when a man set her on fire on the New York subway in December 2024. But the supposed image of "Amelia Carter" appears to be an AI-generated hoax behind which a cryptocurrency is being sold;

Police officials say that on Dec. 22, a man set fire to a sleeping woman, now identified as Debrina Kawam, in a stopped subway car, leading to Kawam’s death and the subsequent arrest and charging of undocumented immigrant Sebastian Zapeta-Calil for murder and arson.

A woman who died after being set on fire on the New York City subway earlier this month was identified as Debrina Kawam, 57, of Toms River, New Jersey, the New York medical examiner's office said on Tuesday.
