GBI decides on the deaths of twins on the Bell Mountain

Towns County, Ga. – – The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has completed its investigation of the death of the twin brothers Qaadir Malik Lewis and Naazir Rahim Lewis, whereby the case decided to suicide after a detailed examination and autopsy results.

The 19-year-old brothers were shot on March 8 in Bell Mountain in Towns County, more than 90 miles removed from their house in Lawreceville.

According to the GBI, the investigators checked the data of the mobile phone location, the surveillance material, the internet history, the purchase records and the forensic evidence, all of which supported the statement that the injuries suffered by the brothers themselves were inflicted themselves.

What we know:

The mobile phone data helped the investigators to create a timeline that showed the brothers that they traveled from their house in Gwinnett County to Bell Mountain. Monitoring video from several points along the route confirmed that they were not accompanied by anyone.

Only Naazir Lewis had bought a plane ticket for a planned trip to Boston on March 7th. He went to the airport alone on March 19, but never started a flight. Records also show that Naazir bought ammunition in the firearm found on site, with the order being delivered to her house on March 5.

The other supportive evidence included Internet search historia for topics such as “How to load a weapon” and suicide statistics from 2024. Forensic tests confirmed that both brothers had fired the weapon used in the incident.

The GBI met with members of the Lewis family before they publish their results and will officially close the case in the coming weeks.
