Police: University of North Carolina Coed's Killing May Have Been Gang-Related

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (Fox News) — The murder of the popular student body president at the University of North Carolina may have been gang related, police told FOX News on Monday.

Eve Carson, 22, was shot dead last week in an upscale residential neighborhood in Chapel Hill, N.C., where the elite school's main campus is located.

Chapel Hill police believe Carson's killing may have a link to the Hoover Crips gang because of a retro Houston Astros baseball cap worn by a man caught on camera allegedly trying to use Carson's ATM card.

The hats, which have an "H" emblem, are sometimes worn by Crips members. The gang has recently surfaced in the Chapel Hill area, according to authorities.
