The remains of Zamil Limon, who was also a doctoral student at the school and previously dated Bristy, were found last week alongside Howard Frankland Bridge in Tampa.

“We have located Nahida Bristy. We have contacted her family. We are now actively working to release both bodies for religious reasons back to the families who live in Bangladesh,” Sheriff Chad Chronister said at a news conference. Limon and Bristy were Muslim, according to the university’s Muslim Student Association.

The remains were identified through DNA.

“No words can fully capture the heartbreak surrounding this loss, which is felt deeply across our university. Nahida and Zamil Limon were exemplary students, building lives, creating community and contributing to our university in meaningful ways,” USF President Moez Limayem said in a statement.

A vigil will be held on campus Friday evening to commemorate Bristy and Limon, according to the university’s Student Government. A GoFundMe was created to help support both of their families with expenses related to their deaths, according to the university’s Bangladesh Student Association.

Hisham Abugharbieh, Limon’s roommate and a former USF student, has been charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of the pair.

Bristy and Limon were both 27 and natives of Bangladesh.
