Co-ed autopsy reveals gunshot death

CHAPEL HILL, N.C., June 30 (UPI) -- An autopsy report released Monday in the death of a North Carolina college student indicates Eve Carson, 22, was shot several times.

The report from North Carolina's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner was released after a newspaper filed a court motion to have it unsealed, CNN reported. The report revealed that Carson's March 5 death was the result of several gunshot wounds, including two to the head.

The killing shocked the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where Carson, a pre-medicine student double-majoring in political science and biology, was the student body president.

Two men, Demario James Atwater, 22, and Lawrence Alvin Lovette, 17, have been charged with first-degree murder in the case.

Court documents released Friday say an informant has told police that Atwater and Lovette kidnapped Carson from her apartment, forced her to give them ATM access to her bank account and shot her to death in the early hours of March 5. The autopsy report showed six gunshot wounds, CNN said.
