Xuming Li, a former University of South Florida chemistry student, has been deported to China after being caught on camera attempting to allegedly poison his neighbor, Umar Abdullah.
Li was arrested in June after Abdullah captured him on surveillance video on two separate occasions crouching next to his front door and using a syringe to pump a mixture of deadly toxins into his apartment.
The toxins were identified as a concoction of the opioids methadone and hydrocodone.
Li had been in the country pursuing his doctorate in chemistry on a student visa and pleaded not guilty to several felony charges, including battery and possession of a controlled substance.
The entire ordeal was allegedly due to an ongoing noise dispute between the two, with Abdullah's apartment above Li's.
