- Hisham Abugharbieh, 26, has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of University of South Florida doctoral students Zamil Limon and Nahida Bristy, both 27.
- Prosecutors allege that days before Limon and Bristy were reported missing, Abugharbieh used ChatGPT to inquire about putting a human in a trash bag and throwing their body in a dumpster, and how such an act would be discovered.
- Zamil Limon's remains were discovered Friday on the Howard Frankland Bridge, inside a heavy-duty trash bag, and his death was preliminarily determined to be a homicide caused by multiple sharp force injuries.
- Investigators found Limon's student ID and credit cards in a compactor dumpster at Abugharbieh's apartment complex, after a roommate reported seeing Abugharbieh moving cardboard boxes to the dumpster the day after the students disappeared.
- Nahida Bristy remains missing, but authorities believe she is likely dead based on the significant volume of blood discovered at the residence Abugharbieh shared with Limon, and marine and dive teams are continuing search efforts for her remains.
