Police Charge 2 in UNC Murder

Posted Mar 12, 08 7:33 PM CDT in Crime & Courts 

(Newser) – Police in North Carolina have charged two men with the murder of a UNC student whose death drew national attention, the AP reports. One suspect, a 21-year-old, is in custody while the other, a 17-year-old, remains at large. Eve Carson, student body president at UNC-Chapel Hill, was found shot to death last week. Police did not disclose a motive; the two suspects are not UNC students.

"I hope the arrest can ease the minds of some in the community," said the local DA. The college will hold a third memorial service for Carson next week. The whereabouts of the second suspect are unclear, though some media reports had him holed up in a standoff with police.
