Police Working to I.D. Suspect in UNC Senior's Slaying
WRAL TV website ^ | Today March 8 2008 | AP

Posted on 03/08/2008 8:42:48 AM PST by Freedom'sWorthIt

Chapel Hill, N.C. — Police asked for help identifying a man in surveillance pictures whom they want to question in connection with the killing of Eve Carson, 22, a senior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Lt. Kevin Gunter, a spokesman for the Chapel Hill Police Department, called the man a suspect after the press conference Saturday morning. Police Chief Bill Curran described the photos as “the biggest break” and “strongest lead” in the case yet.

Two photographs show a black man in his late teens or early 20s. He is riding in a sport-utility vehicle with a roof rack that might have been Carson's. Officers emphasized they did not definitively know if the vehicle belonged to Carson.

If anyone can post the photo and enlarge it that would help. Suspect was trying to use Eve Carson's ATM card and they believe this photo is of the killer in her car.

There is a $25,000 reward out for those who can help lead to this butcher’s arrest. I bet they will know who he is within the hour.

THat hat with the star? Is that a motorcycle helmet? Anybody seen one of those?

He doesn’t look like a usual street thug to me,,he looks sort of like a kid from a middle class family.

Thanks for that link.

Yes scum roam cities and towns all over this country just waiting for hapless victims to come along.

(as the article quotes the police chief)

We’ll see if this lowlife knew her or it was just a random criminal “HIT”.....he obviously wanted her money = using her ATM card or attempting to do so. A druggie? My bet is yes.

I used to know a Chapel Hill cop. He often said most of their problems come down 15-501. This one probably did as well.

Thanks for the enlarged photo of the hat....Houston Astros? That might help identify the thug. My bet is they have his name in the next hour. My hope is they have HIM by the end of today or tomorrow.

Looks like the gangbanger made her give him the PIN to her ATM card and promised not to kill her.

Once she gave him the number, he shot her in the head and dumped her from the car and then went to the ATM machine to “get paid.”

If he did that he was dumb, I would have given a bad number.

Seems he would have taken her to the atm and made her withdraw. Doesn’t he know about cams at atms? Who doesn’t?

Well the police called is a “ball cap” so I think it is a ball cap like was posted above....not a hard hat.

This is probably just a street thug.

And if is is from Durham - well, let’s just say, I won’t be surprised at all.

If he’s from Chapel Hill - my apologies to Durham.

Scum live in every town and city in America.

Yes it does- but- is that an afro coming out of the left side? If so- it could provide kind of a stiff surface for the cap to look more like a hard hat. Make sense?

that he was middle class or that it was a hard hat?

I am so amazed at FR,,you see a hat in a grainy photo and people pop up who know what it is. I never thought of a baseball cap let alone would have been able to id it.

Hope the cops have some sports fans who would know it.

Still, he looks like the son of a middle or working class family. Doesn’t have that street thug look.

LOoks like an afro pony tail.

If anybody is watching the Wire, there is a character who wears his hair like that.

Imagine that lovely girl, shot over cash.

What made me curious is there was no id so he must have taken her wallet.

He didn’t want any witnesses placing both him and her at the ATM.

His defense lawyer will say that she was already dead when he found the car and her ATM card and that there were no witnesses that showed her in his cutody or him pulling the trigger.

Police Have Suspect in UNC Killing
By MIKE BAKER – 17 minutes ago

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Detectives are searching for a man videotaped using the ATM card of the University of North Carolina student body president who was shot to death and dumped on a city street, police said Saturday.

Chapel Hill Police Chief Brian Curran released two surveillance photos of the suspect taken at an ATM machine in Chapel Hill, but declined to say when the photos were taken. Police also released a photo of a baseball cap the suspect appears to be wearing in both of the surveillance pictures.

“This is our biggest break so far in this case,” Curran said.

Eve Carson, 22, was found Wednesday morning on a street not far from campus. She had been shot several times, including once in the right temple, and her body was found lying in the street.

Her truck was discovered Thursday, hours after police identified Carson as the shooting victim.

Curran said police have circulated the picture with police departments in North Carolina, hoping their officers might be able to identify the suspect. The ATM photos show a young man in a baseball cap and hooded sweat shirt driving a sport utility vehicle that may be Carson’s Toyota Highlander, Curran said.

Carson appears to be the victim of a random crime, Curran said.

And after she turned over her ATM PIN number, he shot her multiple times to make sure she was dead and there would be no witnesses.

Very sad. We had a neighbor shot in the head by a 12 year old who was trying to take her purse. She wouldn’t let go,,I mean he was a kid, little, puny. ANd he killed her. 18 dollars in her purse I do believe.

unless they recover the murder weapon and get fingerprints.

Of course, there is little hope of real justice here since NC has halted all death penalty executions.

And the libs in Chapel Hill are strong sponsors of the “anti deathpenalty” moves in the NC Dem party....because too man African Americans are “victims” of the death penalty (commit more capital crimes).

Maybe if they call this a “hate crime”, the libs might be forced to reinstate the deathpenalty.....just joking.

(Yes, I know the halt to the death penalty is about the NC Medical association not being willing to have doctors at the executions....

Still, if street thugs KNEW they would face IMMINENT DEATH for such crimes, we would see these crimes STOP or at least significantly decrease!!!! For a long long time there has been no real justice in America because justice delayed....is no justice at all.

Linda Williams is no mere blogger. She’s one of three senior editors at the NandO. Coincidentally, she was the editor on duty the weekend in 2006 when the DukeLax Frame was ginned up.

This is the story she put on page one and, in my opinion, was the single most important story in precipitating the Frame.

I wonder about the hat,,I am not sure it is a astros cap, can’t see anything on the bill and no big H over the star. Will go google.

All for 200 bucks as someone said. That is 9 dollars a year for her life or abou 2.5 cents per day.

Life is cheap for some.

He shot her in the right temple after she handed over her ATM card PIN number.,,,,,

looks like you are exactly right.

They say Eve Carson often went to an office (not sure where) early in the mornings or during the nights. It’s possible this thug knew her habits and was hoping to get lucky. Or he may just have come upon her car....carjacked her.....got the atm card and info, and as you say shot her and dumped her body.

The reports were that several shots were fired at least 3 maybe 4 - so it’s possible he shot her more than just in the temple but the police are keeping that quiet pending their interrogation of the murderer.

By the way the police in Alabama already have their suspect in that student’s slaying in custody.

Good! I think this hoodlum will soon be in custody too! Praying so!

The thug should be executed.

He promised he wouldn’t kill her if she handed over the ATM PIN number and he blew her away anyway.

He shot her in the temple first. And then filled her body with bullets to make sure she was dead.
