Former USF Student Charged in Murders of Two Doctoral Students

A former University of South Florida (USF) student has been charged with the murders of Nahida Bristy and Zamil Limon, two doctoral students who went missing in April 2026.

Authorities confirmed the charges following the discovery of human remains identified as one of the missing students.

The victims, both enrolled in doctoral programs at USF, were reported missing last month.

The suspect, also a former student at the university, has been formally charged in connection with their deaths.

No further details about the circumstances of the murders or the suspect's motive have been released at this time.

The investigation remains ongoing.

This case has drawn significant attention due to the victims' academic status and the involvement of a former student, raising concerns about campus safety and student welfare.

The University of South Florida has not issued a public statement regarding the incident.

Law enforcement agencies continue to work on gathering evidence and providing updates as the case develops.
