The family of 19-year-old twins who were found dead on a Georgia Mountain on March 8 have new questions for authorities after seeing new surveillance video of the brothers just hours before their deceased bodies were discovered.

New video footage of Georgia twins discovered on Bell Mountain

The aunts of Qaadir and Naazir Lewis, spoke to 11 Alive about new footage of their nephews entering a Shell Gas station in Lawrenceville, Ga., about 12 hours before they were found shot to death.

The family said they have also learned that the twins took an Uber to the airport that morning after scheduling a trip to Boston, but changed their plans when the car failed to drop them off in time for their flight.

They now have several questions, such as, how the two young men drove their unreliable car to Bell Mountain and managed to get inside the gates of the facility, which closes at 9 p.m., at which time they were still close to home.

“This gas station here, around 10:30 p.m., the twins are seen drinking water, eating snacks. And dressed how they would normally dress,” the twins’ aunt, Samira Brawner, told 11 Alive.

“They pretty much walked inside the gas station and walked out, and you know that’s all—that’s all she saw,” Samira added.

Preliminary investigation

Naazir and Qaadir Lewis, of Lawrenceville, Georgia, were found shot to death on the morning of March 8 by a hiker at the summit of Bell Mountain, near the North Carolina border.

Deputies with the Towns County Sheriff’s Office were the first to arrive on the scene. Those deputies then alerted the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI), who reportedly after a preliminary investigation, ascertained the case as a murder-suicide, reported 11 Alive.

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 death.

“My nephews wouldn’t do this! They came from a family of love, and twins wanted so much for their future, they had dreams of starting their very own clothing line,” a GoFundMe to raise money for their funerals reads.

Yasmine Brawner, another aunt of the teens, said that the brothers had no connection to Bell Mountain, which is located 90 miles north of their home in a series of posts shared on Facebook.

“We are not going to sweep this case up under the rug, we want to know the truth of what happened to Qaadir and Naazir so our family can have closure. It is so many unanswered questions that keeps us up at night,” Yasmine said earlier this month on Facebook.

She and other family members have now created the hashtag “#JusticeForQaadirAndNaazir” to raise awareness.

“Unfortunately Something happened at Bell mountain that ended the lives of 19 year old Qaadir and Naazir, which needs to be further investigated,” Yasmine said of the deaths.
