One person is in custody in connection to two missing University of South Florida<\/a> doctoral students, authorities said Friday.<\/p>\n

The Hillsborough County Sheriff\u2019s Office said it closed down a Tampa neighborhood Friday afternoon and took into custody a barricaded person linked to the disappearance of Zamil Limon and Nahida Bristy, both 27, who were last seen separately on April 16.<\/p>\n

The sheriff\u2019s office announced at about 11:15 a.m. Friday that it had closed the entrance and exit of the Lake Forest Community “due to a police investigation<\/a> related to the missing USF students.”<\/p>\n

“The situation has been resolved. One individual is in custody,” they said.<\/p>\n

A family friend notified police April 17 at approximately 4:50 p.m. after concern grew over being unable to contact Limon and Bristy.<\/p>\n

Both have since been added to the state and national missing persons<\/a> databases, police said.<\/p>\n

The sheriff’s office said that they will have a news conference<\/a> Friday to announce additional details.<\/p>\n
