Slain Woman Found Near UNC Was Student Body President
Chapel Hill, N.C. — Chapel Hill police have identified a woman found dead near the University of North Carolina campus Wednesday morning as the university's student body president.
Eve Carson, 22, a UNC senior, was found shot multiple times in the head about a half-mile from campus.
Police have issued a bulletin for Carson's blue 2005 Toyota Highlander with Georgia license plate AIV-6690.
Officers spent most of Wednesday and Thursday morning following up and searching for leads in the case. At a news conference Thursday, they called it a "fairly random crime."
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Chapel Hill Police Department at 919-968-2760.
Meanwhile, an informal gathering has been scheduled at UNC for 3 p.m. at Polk Place for the UNC community, Chancellor James Moeser said.
In a letter posted on the UNC Web site, Moeser described Carson as a wonderful person and a great friend.
"We are saddened and numb with grief," he said.
Carson, a native of Athens, Ga., was a Morehead scholar and a member of the Phi Beta Kappa honor society. She was a pre-med major studying both political science and biology.
