Twins miss flight to Boston later found dead in Georgia mountains

From Unheard Voices Magazine

Nineteen-year-old twins Naazir and Qaadir Lewis were found shot to death Saturday morning by a hiker at the summit of Bell Mountain, near the North Carolina border.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is reportedly treating the case as a murder-suicide, but family members aren’t buying it. They had believed the twins were in Boston visiting friends at the time and they demanding answers on what exactly happened.

The brotherywere inseparable, according to family members, and had no known history of conflict.

“They’re very protective of each other. They love each other,” their uncle Rahim Brawner told 11 Alive in Atlanta. “They’re like inseparable. I couldn’t imagine them hurting each other because I’ve never seen them get into a fistfight before.”

They never made it to their Boston flight

The family said the brothers had booked a flight to Boston for 7 a.m. last Friday but never made their flight. Just 24 hours later, they were found deceased in an area the family said they had never visited before.

How did they end up out in the mountains? They don’t hike out there, they’ve never been out there,” Brawner said. “They don’t know anything about Hiawassee, Georgia. They never even heard of Bell Mountain, so how did they end up right there?”

The GBI has reportedly completed the autopsies, but is still awaiting additional forensic test results along with additional investigative work before issuing a final ruling on the cause of deaths.
