CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — The murder of the popular student body president at the University of North Carolina may have been gang related, police told FOX News on Monday.
Eve Carson, 22, was shot dead last week in an upscale residential neighborhood in Chapel Hill, N.C., where the elite school's main campus is located.
Chapel Hill police believe Carson's killing may have a link to the Hoover Crips gang because of a retro Houston Astros baseball cap worn by a man caught on camera allegedly trying to use Carson's ATM card.
The hats, which have an "H" emblem, are sometimes worn by Crips members. The gang has recently surfaced in the Chapel Hill area, according to authorities.
Meanwhile, detectives were hunting for a second person they believe was in in the vehicle driven by the man apparently trying to use Carson's ATM card on Sunday.
Police Chief Brian Curran told FOX News that officials are now seeking the second figure detected in the original black and white ATM photos.
Cops have said the SUV in the surveillance photo could be Carson's blue 2005 Toyota Highlander and if there was a second person in the back seat, it could explain how the killer or killers got away. Story contiunes

I thought the “H” was photoshopped?
Affluent Chapel Hill. Is no town safe anymore?
Maybe I’m wrong, but I can’t help but think that the Duke travesty helped stir up deep-seated anger of the “have-nots” toward the “haves,” believing them to be born to having what they want and not understanding how hard students work to be at a school like UNC. So very sad.
Forest Lawn; but only for fulltime residents.
She was back on campus in a dorm room in two hours.
Deep seated anger over a fake rape reported by a lying black stripper, that nearly ended several white guys’ futures? What are they getting angry about? I don’t even think the black stripper even got charged for filing a false report with police!
I know, you didn’t say they were being RATIONAL about it.
Yep, one can not help but wonder if the what the 88 and Nifong stirred up, cost this young woman her life.
I wonder if using an ATM card under false pretenses is a violation of federal law? If so that could bring the FBI in, which all things being equal, I would think would be a good thing.
A lot of people in that community, from what I understood, thought that these young men got away with a crime.
If you're over 40, you'll be dead before he is.
“If so that could bring the FBI in, which all things being equal, I would think would be a good thing.”
I agree. But in the recent lacrosse case the FBI wouldn’t come in when there were death threats made inside a courtroom by a uniformed member of a race-based militant group (hate crime);
when officers under color of law fabricated evidence and lied on warrant requests (violation of civil rights under color of law);
when several friends and associates of the accuser were abruptly arrested, with the outcome of their cases in the hands of Nifong; and a principal defense witness was arrested and tried on a phony charge (witness itimidation);
when several persons conspired to deprive defendants of their civil rights; and much more.
But drop a Koran on the floor, and they’ll be there before you can get your stopwatch out.
Sorry to say it, but the Justice Dept. and the FBI act like PC has replaced the constitution.
Someone should tell him that his hat is crooked and that he looks like a moron.
Courts in Chapel Hill (Orange County) don’t have the guts to find for capital punishment. They are too far to the left and too weak.
15 or so years ago, in a similar case, a female jogger was accosted at dawn. The perp wanted to rape her. She rebuffed him, then pepper sprayed him. He pulled out a handgun, shooting her several times, administering a coup de grace to the head.
The Orange County jury found him guilty of 2nd degree murder. His defense argued that it wasn’t his fault. That the victim had ‘enraged’ him by using the pepper spray on him.
go figure.
Sad to say you’re right on the money on that one.
PC is going to kill us all (as has been pointed out many times before).
CH police has already called this a “Random Crime” - as I said in another post a “Random Crime” seems to be the opposite of a “Hate Crime”. Just depends on the identity politics of the perp/victirm.
It’s more complicated (and even worse) than that. Kristin Lodge-Miller was shot by the black kid, and it was 4 black members of the jury who refused to find him guilty of 1st degree murder. The stated reason that one of the juror’s gave was that white people can’t understand “black rage.”
NSS?
You may be wrong there. This guy had better watch his back. If this is gang related and this guy gets caught, nobody in the hood wants him talking too much. From the looks of things, he is too dumb to be trusted. I predict that if this is gang related, the gang will pop him before the police get to him.
I don’t give a %h*T what it’s “related” to.
I am the public, and the public wants its bloodlust satisfied!
