CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- It’s been 10 years since UNC Student Body President Eve Carson was murdered after being robbed and kidnapped.

She was shot and killed in Chapel Hill on March 5, 2008.

Laurence Lovette Jr. is serving a life sentence for her murder. Demario Atwater pleaded guilty and is serving two life sentences.

Carson’s memory continues to this day on the UNC campus:

• The Eve Carson Scholarship is awarded to two juniors each year. It includes a $5,000 stipend and pays for half the cost of tuition of the students’ senior year.
• Each year, runners line up for the Eve Carson Memorial 5K race in Chapel Hill.
• In 2010, the Eve Marie Carson Garden was dedicated.
