The student body president at the University of North Carolina was shot dead in a no-arrest, no-suspects case.

Eve Marie Carson, a 22-year-old senior from Athens, Ga., was shot “randomly” and found on a street. She was shot several times and at least one bullet hit her in the head, police said. There weren’t any signs of sexual assault, the medical examiner said.

The last time her friends saw her alive was at about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday. Her roommates were the last people who saw her. They were going out as Carson remained home for some schoolwork. She was later found gunned down on a street. She was probably killed at about 5 a.m. because that’s when the neighbors said they heard shots.

According to police Chief Brian Curran, who described Carson as “an extraordinarily busy woman”, who sometimes went to the office in the middle of the night, the student might have done the same during the last night of her life, but police does not know that for a fact.
 
The only piece of evidence the police has is Carson’s car, which was found about a mile away from where police found her corpse. Police found out the whereabouts of the blue 2005 Toyota Highlander after being informed by a witness who spotted the car.

Police doesn’t know what Carson was doing in the upscale residential area, but Curran told The News & Observer of Raleigh that the killer was in the Toyota Highlander at some point.
There is no link between Carson’s death and someone in the campus at this time, said James Moeser, Chancellor of The University of North Carolina.

"We have lost someone whom we cherish and love. We're all in a state of shock," he said while speaking to hundreds of students gathered on the school's quad at a memorial service.
The students and the faculty staff gathered twice Thursday afternoon to remember Carson.
