HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. (AP) — Authorities have charged a suspect in the slaying of University of North Carolina student body president Eve Carson with first-degree murder.
Documents filed Wednesday named the defendant as 21-year-old Demario James Atwater, of Durham.
Chapel Hill police and District Attorney Jim Woodall gathered Wednesday afternoon in an Orange County courtroom for Atwater’s first appearance.
The 22-year-old Carson was found March 5 lying on a street about a mile from campus. The biology and political science major from Athens, Ga., had been shot several times, including once in the right temple.
