A college dropout facing murder charges in the killings of two University of South Florida students has a hearing scheduled for Tuesday morning, just days after a SWAT team descended on his parents’ house to arrest him.
Hisham Abugharbieh, 26, faces two counts of first-degree premeditated murder with a weapon as well as other charges, according to state court records. Abugharbieh could get the death penalty if convicted, although prosecutors haven’t yet indicated whether they would seek capital punishment.
