Eve Carson

University of North Carolina student body president Eve Carson was found shot to death in an apparent car jacking/robbery early Wednesday morning.

Police said they are looking for Carson’s vehicle – a blue 2005 Toyota Highlander – believed to have been stolen in the incident. The license plate is AIV 6690, registered in Georgia.

There are no suspects at this time. Chapel Hill Police Lt. Kevin Gunter said that she was shot multiple times, at least once in the head, but that police believe the shooting to be a random act at this point in the investigation.

Carson’s body, found at the corner of Hillcrest Road and Hillcrest Circle at about 5 a.m. Wednesday, was identified by police at about 9 a.m. today in a follow-up investigation to gunshots in the East Franklin Street neighborhood reported by a Davie Circle resident Wednesday morning.

The killing is the second in two days involving college students and vehicles. Auburn freshman Lauren Burk was killed earlier this week in a similar horrific slaying.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Eve and the entire UNC student body.
