Twin Brothers Found Dead on Georgia Mountain After Missing Flight
Twin brothers Qaadir and Naazir Lewis, 19, of Lawrenceville, Georgia, were found dead from gunshot wounds on Bell Mountain on March 8, a day after missing a scheduled flight.
The teens were last seen March 7, when they failed to show up for a 7 a.m. flight. Their bodies were discovered by a hiker near the North Carolina border. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is treating the case as a murder-suicide, a theory strongly rejected by the family.
“They were inseparable,” said their uncle, Rahim Brawner. “I couldn’t imagine them hurting each other.” Their aunt Yasmin Brawner added, “They had a huge support system. Something happened in those mountains, and we want answers.”
Family members noted the boys had plane tickets in their wallets and were found in an area unfamiliar to them. Another aunt, Samira Brawner, questioned how they ended up in a place they’d never been.
The GBI says autopsy results are pending further forensic testing. A GoFundMe has been started by the family to help with funeral costs.
