Earlier this month, a hiker in Georgia stumbled upon a truly horrifying scene, as two young men were found dead from gunshot wounds. What made this especially shocking is that they were twin brothers. Local police in Hiawassee, Georgia, are calling this an apparent Murder-Suicide. However, the family of Qaadir and Naazir Lewis believes foul-play from the outside may be at play.

This case also has striking similarities to another case from February of 2024.

Special thanks to Parke Jones for her independent journalism on this case. You can follow her on YouTube here.
