Chapel Hill, N.C. — Chapel Hill police have identified a woman found dead near the University of North Carolina campus Wednesday morning as the university's student body president.

UNC senior Eve Carson, 22, was found shot multiple times in the head about a half-mile from campus.

Police have also issued a bulletin for Carson's blue 2005 Toyota Highlander with Georgia license plate AIV-6690.

With no suspects or possible motives, officers spent most of Wednesday and Thursday morning following up and searching for leads in the case.

"We're at the very beginning of this investigation," Chapel Hill Police Chief Brian Currin said at a news conference Thursday. "A lot of it, up to this point, was just trying to figure out who the victim was."

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Chapel Hill Police Department at 919-968-2760 or Crime Stoppers at 919-942-7515.

Meanwhile, UNC Chancellor James Moeser has scheduled an informal gathering in memory of Carson at UNC for 3 p.m. at Polk Place for the UNC community.

UNC's Bell Tower will also toll every 30 seconds from 2:45 p.m. to 3 p.m.

In a letter posted on the UNC Web site, Moeser described Carson as a wonderful person and great friend.

"We are saddened and numb with grief," he said.

Carson, a native of Athens, Ga., was a Morehead scholar, a member of the Phi Beta Kappa honor society and was a pre-med major studying both political science and biology.

"Eve Carson was a person who touched lives throughout this town and campus," Chapel Hill Mayor Kevin Foy said. "Her service as student body president, a member of the (UNC) Board of Trustees and other ways only provides a glimpse of the person that Eve was."

"She was happy, vivacious, intelligent, engaged and a presence in our community whose absence leaves a permanent void in our hearts and in our lives."
