Today at 12:57 p.m., North Carolina Police revealed that Eve Carson, Student Body President at Chapel Hill had been shot and killed. Thus far, the act seems to have been random as the police are still looking for her car. There are no suspects at this time. Carson was last seen around 1:30 a.m. and police received a 911 call around 5:00 a.m.

The following video describes the investigation process: wral.com. The latest sad details can be found at the student newspaper’s Web site, the Daily Tar Heel.

Whitney Marshall, the university’s own Student Government president, will be creating a banner in Carson’s honor. In an e-mail to the SG listserv this afternoon, Marshall wrote:

This is an extremely devastating loss for the community at UNC-Chapel Hill and it is important that we show our support for their Student Government during this time of mourning.  Eve was an AMAZING president who looked out for her fellow students.

Tough times on Tobacco Road; stay strong UNC.
