\n The two were last seen nearly two weeks ago<\/a> in Tampa. Limon\u2019s body was found on a bridge a week later, and investigators believe Bristy was also killed. Another set of human remains were later found, but they have not yet been confirmed to be Bristy\u2019s.\n <\/p>\n \n During an interview with the Hillsborough County Sheriff\u2019s Office after the 2023 incident, Abugharbieh said \u201cI created my brother. I am his god,\u201d and \u201cThis is my first life here,\u201d according to the police report.\n <\/p>\n \n Abugharbieh was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of simple battery and placed under the Baker Act, a Florida law that allows for a hold of up to 72 hours of those with a mental illness who pose a danger to themselves or others.\n <\/p>\n \n His family member indicated to police that while Abugharbieh had not been diagnosed with a mental illness, his behavior had worsened over recent weeks, the report says.\n <\/p>\n \n In a victim impact letter submitted to the court, a relative said Abugharbieh\u2019s behavior had changed over the last few years after he began using medical marijuana.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cHisham used to be a cool guy. A supportive and helpful eldest son,\u201d the relative wrote. \u201cIt turned him mentally ill with hurtful behavior and anger problems.\u201d\n <\/p>\n \n Despite this apparent change in Abugharbieh, the relative said they were still left \u201cshocked\u201d by his arrest and added they filed a petition for involuntary treatment for substance abuse.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cI hope that the court will help Hisham \u2026 and put him under treatment and stop him using medical marijuana because it is not for him since he has never had any disease requires (sic) drug use,\u201d the relative wrote.\n <\/p>\n \n The charges against Abugharbieh in the battery case were later dropped, court records show. However, an injunction was granted<\/a> by a judge, prohibiting him from coming near his brother or his home through May 2025.\n <\/p>\n \n Abugharbieh, now 26, faces two counts of first-degree premeditated murder with a weapon in the deaths of the University of South Florida students.\n <\/p>\n![\"Hisham](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1777528228_896_ap26115572959256.jpg\")
