Eva Marie Carson, 22, of Athens, Ga., was found shot to death about a mile from her home. Police reports show she was shot multiple times, and the impact of Carson’s death quickly swept over the UNC campus as news spread Thursday afternoon.

“We have lost someone whom we cherish and love. We are all in a state of shock,” UNC Chancellor James Moeser told students as they gathered in the campus quad. “The death of any parent’s child or any student is a tragedy, but this is a tragedy magnified and multiplied by the number and depths of the relationships—meaningful relationships—Eve Carson had on this campus.”
