Durham, N.C. Heavily armed Durham police, surrounding a house before dawn Thursday, captured the second of two men charged with murder in the shooting of the student body president at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Lawrence Alvin Lovette Jr., 17, surrendered to officers from the department's Selective Enforcement Team outside a house on Cook Road at 4:16 a.m. Police had surrounded the house hours before after receiving an anonymous tip through the Durham County Sheriff's Office

Not a hate crime, right.
In fact, we'd be racist to notice.
Because OJ was set up by the man.
Fry 'em both. Regardless of age.
No cheers, unfortunately.
We can hope....but they just keep producing thugs like this - it’s an endless cycle - not just in Durham —— but so MANY are in Durham.
So we might ask why does Durham seem to have a crime culture?
Due to a TOLERANCE of crime / criminals there, IMHO....in the community, in the police force, in the prosecutor’s office (Nifong ran it remember), in the courts there, in the mayor’s office there.
Yes there is a death penalty on the books - however it is INACTIVE because the NC Medical Society refuses to meet the state’s requirement to be forced to have a doctor at the executions.
No doctor. No executions.
Am not sure what that will mean here - if the death penalty can still be found by a jury/judge or not.
Maybe legal eagles from NC can report in on this topic.
how far did they drive from Durham to rob and murder this girl? Do we know yet how it happened? Just guessing but seems maybe she went out to a convenience store and was carjacked
I Texas, it would be a no-brainer.
Glad they got him - best we can hope for is that they either rot in prison, or get taken out by the other prisoners.
Hate crime?
I am cautiously optimistic that they will have good cases against these two pieces of vermin and that the investigation wasn’t botched up beyond repair.
Life in prison with no chance of parole or death penalty if available.
I agree with you, but you don’t know Chapel Hill too well. Before it is over there will be crying FOR these killers. Hate to say I went to UNC undergrad and grad...
But.... GO HEELS!!!
Ever notice when thugs are caught they pose for their mug shots with a very defiant look. It looks as if they are proud of what they did, and that they know, in their culture, they are now heros.
Not a hate crime, right.
In fact, we'd be racist to notice.
Once again GMTA. This will never be considered a hate crime, and somehow "they" assume that we -- the schlubs -- will never notice.
I don’t think that I would last 5 minutes as a Cop. I sure wouldn’t tell them to duck when they get in the back seat of the Black and white.
Good questions - don’t know those facts yet....could be. Am sure the case will be laid out with a timeline.
Durham is only 20 mins from Chapel Hill.
2 less scumbags on the street....and one beautiful youg girl wasted.....
Yep.
But it will not be long before we will be hearing sobs from Chapel Hill - over the misbegotten youth of the two thugs...not of the evil in their hearts, in their souls, in their minds, in their eyes. Pure hatred exudes from them.
Yes - the best thing to say is no more victims for these 2 killers.
Now we’ll see how “justice” is served.....or ignored.
Same here. Atwater did have a bruise, contusion, on his right cheek that showed up in his pictures of his arrest.
Can’t find that picture this morning.
But seems like the police were, um, forceful in his arrest.
Good.
Not forceful enough for me.
I know - and thank GOD there is still a state where justice is served....
NC has been in liberal “cry for the criminal” control for many many years....
