Gang Affiliation Debated in Slaying of UNC Student

Posted Mar 12, 2008

As Chapel Hill police follow up leads from surveillance photos in the slaying of UNC-Chapel Hill student body present Eve Carson, debate over whether the photographed suspect is gang-affiliated lingers. Hunter Glass, a former detective with the Fayetteville Police, is considered to be a "gang expert" and has looked closely at the photos. "I believe that it's a very strong possibility, given the young man's age and the picture...that he is associated with a gang.” (WRAL.com)
