Body found as USF doctoral student case widens: roommate in custody, other student still missing
The body of Zamil Limon, a 27-year-old USF doctoral student, was found on the Howard Frankland Bridge in Tampa, with his roommate arrested on domestic-violence and related charges. Nahida S. Bristy, the other 27-year-old USF student who was missing, remains unaccounted for after last being seen April 16. Authorities say the Bristy investigation is ongoing, an autopsy is underway to determine Limon’s cause of death, and families say the pair—both from Bangladesh—are not the type to disappear. The case is being handled by USF police and the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, with SWAT involvement at the time of the arrest.
