The body of one of two missing University of South Florida doctoral students was found Friday, and law enforcement officials said a roommate has been taken into custody. Zamil Limon's remains were found on the Howard Frankland bridge, the AP reports; Nahida Bristy is still missing. The 27-year-olds were last seen in the Tampa area on April 16. "We are still actively searching for Nahida," a sheriff's deputy said. Limon's roommate, Hisham Saleh Abugharbeih, 26, was taken into custody on preliminary charges that include domestic violence, battery, false imprisonment, tampering with evidence, failure to report a death and unlawfully moving a body, said Hillsborough County Chief Deputy Joseph Maurer said.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office posted on X that it "responded to a barricaded subject connected to the missing USF students." Officers said they encountered Abugharbeih as they responded to a report of domestic violence at his family's home, just north of campus, and were able to remove his relatives to safety. But then he barricaded himself inside the home, they said. After a SWAT team responded, authorities said, he came out peacefully. Abugharbeih had been a USF student but was not currently enrolled.
Limon, whose research focuses on AI applications in environmental science, had been slated to present his doctoral thesis this week. Bristy is a chemical engineering student who, according to her brother, typically checks in with family every day. "There has been no single day without contact with her," he told CBS News.
