Above is a video of Eve Carson, Student Body President of the University of North Carolina.

Ms. Carson was found murdered in the middle of an intersection just outside downtown Chapel Hill on Wednesday. Her body ... which had two gunshot wounds, including one to the head ... laid just a mile away from her SUV, which was left abandoned. There are no suspects at this time (watch more of the story here).

The entire school is in mourning. There have been candlelight vigils held at the school's iconic Old Well as well as news conferences, memorials and speeches.

One thing there wasn't was a news conference from UNC basketball coach Roy Williams.

"In light of the news and out of respect for Ms. Carson, we feel it is inappropriate for us to hold a basketball-related news conference at this time," the school said in a prepared statement.

As you know, North Carolina goes eight miles up the street to face Duke on Saturday night. Because of the proximity between the two schools, Ms. Carson's death (and the search for a suspect) most certainly will be a topic of discussion through the weekend.

It also will bring back the horrifying memories of last March's death of Jason Ray, the UNC mascot who was hit by an SUV while walking along the side of a road in East Rutherford, NJ. North Carolina was set to play USC in the Sweet 16 the day that Ray was hit. He died a few days later.

Ms. Carson was a pre-med majoring in biology and political science. She was 22 years old.

UPDATE: The Lady Tar Heels basketball team have blue ribbons affixed to their shoes to honor Eve Carson. They are currently playing in the ACC Tournament in Greensboro.
