Prosecutors outline timeline as USF doctoral student murder case unfolds
Prosecutors released new evidence in the killing of Zamil Limon, a University of South Florida doctoral student, including a timeline of events surrounding his death and the disappearance of his friend Nahida Bristy. Limon died from multiple sharp-force injuries and his body was found on the Howard Frankland Bridge; his roommate, Hisham Abugharbieh, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder as Bristy remains missing. The prosecution argues Abugharbieh poses a danger to the community and should remain jailed pending trial, noting shifting accounts during interrogations and inconsistencies about their movements. Investigators have recovered human remains from waterways south of the bridge, but Bristy’s fate remains unresolved.
