Overview
- Hillsborough County deputies charged Hisham Abugharbieh on Saturday with two counts of premeditated first-degree murder in the deaths of Zamil Limon and Nahida Bristy.
- Limon’s remains were found Friday on the Howard Frankland Bridge, and Bristy remains missing as marine and dive units search the waters nearby.
- Deputies took Abugharbieh into custody Friday after responding to a domestic violence call, where he briefly barricaded himself before surrendering to a SWAT team.
- Bristy’s family says investigators told them she may be dead based on blood found in the apartment Abugharbieh shared with Limon, though officials have not confirmed her status.
- The medical examiner has not yet released Limon’s cause of death, and authorities say the upgraded charges could bring a sentence of life in prison or death under Florida law.
