TAMPA, Fla. (CBS12) \u2014 Investigators have discovered a body in the waterways of Tampa Bay as they continue their search for Nahida Bristy, a missing University of South Florida student. <\/p>\n

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office<\/a> said on Sunday night that the body was located near the Howard Frankland Bridge, where Zamil Limon\u2019s<\/a> body was found on Friday. <\/p>\n

However, officials stated that positive identification of the remains has yet to be determined. <\/p>\n

Both Limon and Bristy were reported missing over a week ago. <\/p>\n

During a court hearing on Saturday, prosecutors filed first-degree murder charges<\/a> against Limon\u2019s roommate, Hisham Abugharbieh, 26, who was taken into custody by a SWAT team on Friday following a domestic disturbance call.<\/p>\n

Abugharbieh has an extensive criminal record, which includes previous charges of domestic violence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TAMPA, Fla.
