Chapel Hill police said Lawrence Alvin Lovett, Jr., 17, remained at large. Police say Lovett should be considered "armed and dangerous."

The body of Carson, a senior at the university, was found near the campus a week ago. She had been shot several times.

Investigators released a photo from a security camera showing a man possibly attempting to use her automated teller machine card.

Chapel Hill Police Chief David Curran did not release many details during a news conference, saying "this is still an active ongoing investigation."

Commenting on a photo taken by an ATM security camera, Curran said police believed the person pictured as the driver of the vehicle was Lovett. Atwater was seen in a photo pulled from a convenience store security camera, the newspaper said.
