Overview

• The GBI officially closed its investigation on May 21, determining that Qaadir and Naazir Lewis died by self-inflicted gunshot wounds at Bell Mountain on March 8.
• The initial classification of the deaths as a murder-suicide was revised after forensic and digital evidence supported a double suicide ruling.
• Evidence included internet searches related to firearms and suicide, ammunition purchased by Naazir, and cellular data showing the brothers were alone at the summit.
• The family, rejecting the suicide conclusion, has launched a GoFundMe campaign to hire a private investigator to reexamine the case.
• The motive for the twins’ presence at the remote mountain remains unclear, adding to the family’s skepticism and unanswered questions.
