南佛罗里达大学两名博士生遇害案嫌疑人希沙姆·阿布加比耶（Hisham Abugharbieh）的兄长向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露，他的家人此前曾就阿布加比耶的过激行为向警方发出过警告。
22岁的艾哈迈德·阿布加比耶告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，他的兄长易怒，本不该和室友合住。
“我之前都不知道他有室友，”艾哈迈德·阿布加比耶说，“他本该独自居住，哪怕无家可归也好。”
26岁的希沙姆·阿布加比耶面临两项一级谋杀指控，与他的室友、27岁的扎米尔·利蒙（Zamil Limon）以及同样27岁的纳希达·布里斯蒂（Nahida Bristy）的死亡有关。利蒙的尸体于周五被发现，当局在搜寻布里斯蒂期间于周日找到了人类遗骸，不过这些遗骸尚未得到身份确认。当局表示，两处遗骸均在霍华德·弗兰克兰大桥沿线或附近区域被发现，这座大桥横跨坦帕湾部分水域。

艾哈迈德·阿布加比耶称，他的家人在这位兄长周五早上突然出现在家中后，曾有人报警。
“他举止非常怪异，所以我打电话叫警察来把他带走，”艾哈迈德·阿布加比耶说。
根据法庭记录，希沙姆·阿布加比耶自2023年起便与家人疏远。
据一份逮捕报告显示，希沙姆·阿布加比耶的妹妹在发现他只裹着一条毛巾在客厅玩电子游戏后与他对峙，随后他朝妹妹靠近。
“被告人试图亲吻被害人，”报告写道，“被害人成功将他推开。”
希沙姆·阿布加比耶于周五被戏剧性地逮捕。他双手举过头顶走出房门，身上仍只裹着一条毛巾，随后遭到希尔斯伯勒县警长办公室 deputies的控制并被拘留。
他将于周二出庭受审，目前被关押且不得保释。
艾哈迈德·阿布加比耶向受害者家属传递了这样一段话：
“我满脑子想的都是他们所有人……我真的，真的感到无比糟糕，”他说，“我为这一切深感抱歉。我的整个家族都感到无比羞愧和内疚。”
艾哈迈德·阿布加比耶补充道：“我们此前曾试图警告警方。”
根据法庭记录，该家庭曾两次向希沙姆·阿布加比耶申请保护令，2023年的申请获得批准，2025年的申请则被驳回。保护令属于民事案件，由希尔斯伯勒县法院书记员办公室处理。
一名法官驳回了2025年的申请，原因是相关殴打刑事指控未被追究。
这位年轻的阿布加比耶表示，他在2023年放弃了对兄长可能提起的殴打指控，原因是经济拮据。
“我撤销了指控，因为我以为这会让我花一大笔钱，”他说，“那之后我立刻就后悔了。”
在哥伦比亚广播公司新闻获取到的2023年保护令文件中，艾哈迈德·阿布加比耶写道，他的兄长“多次用拳头打我的头部，扯破我的衬衫，弄伤了我，还在我脸上留下了几处瘀伤。我出门去叫警察，他试图开着家里的小型货车逃跑，但发现行不通后又回来了。”
在另一起事件中，这位弟弟指控希沙姆·阿布加比耶“在和我妈妈发生短暂争吵后，撕碎了整个客厅”。
他还指控兄长“会在半夜突然尖叫，声称自己是上帝，让我们所有人都向他下跪”。
代表希沙姆·阿布加比耶的希尔斯伯勒县公设辩护人办公室发言人告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻：“尽管我们理解公众对这起案件的关注，但我们的职业道德义务以及当事人获得公平审判的权利要求我们避免公开置评。我们将继续专注于在整个法律程序中为当事人提供辩护。”
希尔斯伯勒县州检察官办公室未就艾哈迈德·阿布加比耶的言论置评。
他们在一则Facebook帖子中写道，希沙姆·阿布加比耶“仍然对我们的社区构成威胁，在受审前应被关押且不得保释”。
“我们的心与两名学生的家人同在，在这段极其艰难的时刻，我们将他们铭记于心，期盼能得到真相，”州检察官苏西·洛佩斯（Suzy Lopez）说道。
希尔斯伯勒县警长办公室未回应哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的置评请求。
Brother of suspect in deaths of 2 Tampa doctoral students: “We tried to warn police in the past”

The brother of Hisham Abugharbieh, the suspect in the killings of two University of South Florida doctoral students, tells CBS News his family had warned police in the past about Abugharbieh’s erratic behavior.
Ahmad Abugharbie, 22, told CBS News his older brother was quick to anger and shouldn’t have been living in a shared space with roommates.
“I didn’t know he had a roommate,” Ahmad Abugharbie said. “He should’ve lived on his own or been homeless.”
Hisham Abugharbieh, 26, is facing two first-degree murder charges in connection with the deaths of his roommate, 27-year-old Zamil Limon, and Nahida Bristy, also 27. Limon’s body was found Friday and authorities found human remains Sunday while searching for Bristy, although those remains have not yet been identified. Both sets of remains were found on or near the Howard Frankland Bridge, which spans a portion of Tampa Bay, authorities said.

Ahmad Abugharbie said he was among the members of his family who called police to the family home after the elder Abugharbie suddenly showed up Friday morning.
“He was being very weird, so I called them to get him out,” Ahmad Abugharbieh said.
Hisham Abugharbieh had been estranged from the family since 2023, according to court records.
According to an arrest report, Hisham Abugharbie’s younger sister confronted him after she found him in the living room playing video games, wearing only a towel. Then he approached her.
“The defendant was attempting to kiss the victim,” the report states. “The victim was able to push away.”
Hisham Abugharbieh was taken into custody in dramatic fashion on Friday. He came out with his hands up, still wearing only a towel, and was confronted by Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office deputies who took him into custody.
He is due in court on Tuesday and is being held without bond.

Ahmad Abugharbieh had a message for the families of the victims:
“I just can’t stop thinking about all of them. … I’m just, I just feel so awful,” he said. “I’m really sorry about everything. I feel so, my entire family feels so much shame and guilt.”
Ahmad Abugharbieh added, “We tried to warn police in the past.”
The family had filed two protective orders against Hisham Abugharbieh, one in 2023 that was granted and another in 2025, which was denied, according to court records. Protective orders are a civil matter handled by the Clerk of Courts in Hillsborough County.
A judge denied the 2025 request because the battery criminal charges were not pursued.
The younger Abugharbieh said he declined to move forward with potential battery charges against his brother in 2023 because of financial constraints.
“I dropped them because I thought it was going to cost me a lot of money,” he said. “I regretted that choice immediately after.”
In the 2023 protective order, a copy of which was obtained by CBS News, Ahmad Abugharbieh wrote that his brother “… repeatedly punched me in the head, he ripped my shirt and made me bleed and gave me a few bruises on my face. I went outside to call the cops. He tried to escape by using the family minivan but came back after realizing it wouldn’t work.”
On another occasion, the younger brother alleges that Hisham Abugharbieh “tore up the entire living room after a short argument with my mom.”
He also alleged his brother “would start screaming in the middle of the night about how he is God and we should all bow down to him.”
A spokesperson for the Hillsborough County Public Defender’s Office, which is representing Hisham Abugharbieh, told CBS News, “While we understand the attention surrounding the case, our ethical obligations and our client’s right to a fair trial require that we refrain from public comment. We remain focused on representing our client through the legal process.”
The Hillsborough County State Attorney’s Office would not comment specifically on Ahmad Abugharbieh’s comments.
In a Facebook post, they wrote that Hisham Abugharbieh “remains a danger to our community and should be held without bond until trial.”
“Our hearts are with both students’ families during this incredibly difficult time, and we are keeping them in our thoughts as they await answers,” State Attorney Suzy Lopez said.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office did not reply to CBS News’ request for comment.
