No, it’s not obvious. The DOJ rarely charges anybody with murder. It’s almost always charged under state law, in state courts. Sebastian Zapeta-Calil hasn’t been charged with a federal crime, and probably won’t be.

Zapeta-Calil came from out of the country, so the same applies to him.

that’s not how it works….
luigi, allegedly, traveled across state lines for the sole purpose of the killing, and immediately left the state.
Zapeta-Calil was living in ny and committed a murder while he was there. He didn’t travel there just to burn someone… he was there already and did it….
but god damn that’s a horrible way to die. the worst i can imagine except for some deliberately slow torture….
