Eve Carson’s Gang Signs

Was Eve Carson false flagging Hoover Crips?

The gang has recently surfaced in the Chapel Hill area, according to authorities.

Or, had the 21 year old UNC Student Body president, somehow become mixed up in a sorted love triangle with her killers that reuslted in the end of her life.

Earlier Friday, Chapel Hill police Chief Brian Curran had backed off calling Carson’s death random — instead saying investigators simply didn’t have evidence to the contrary.

“To make an assessment on that at this time would be speculative,” he said. “At this point, we have no evidence to believe that it was a targeted crime.”

Carson’s next-door neighbor, UNC-Chapel Hill sophomore Anna Pullian, said she doubted the crime was random.“Everyone knew who she was,” Pullian said. “Practically everyone on campus would know her face. It seems to be too much of a coincidence for it to be random.”Statistics suggest that Carson’s death probably was not random.

About two-thirds of female homicide victims are killed by people they know, about a quarter are killed by people of unknown relationship, and less than 10 percent are killed by confirmed strangers, according to U.S. Department of Justice statistics.

About one-third are killed by intimate partners.

Eve Carson was discovered lying in the intersection of Hillcrest Road and Hillcrest Circle after the Chapel Hill Police Department responded at about 5 a.m. to reports of gunshots in the exclusive residential area off East Franklin Street near the University of North Carolina campus.

But, where was she coming from? Where had she been? Who was she with?

The first call concerning her death came from a neighbor on Davie Circle, who lived a street behind where the body was found.

The caller reported that she heard three or four shots and a woman scream, police spokesman Lt. Kevin Gunter said. Police received two other 911 calls immediately after the first, but no witnesses to the actual shooting have been found.

Lester Day, age 76, found the body. She had been shot twice and her upper torso burned. Police believe she was killed in a different location and her body was dumped where Mr. Day found it. She appeared to have been dead for several hours.

“We believe this is a secondary crime scene,” said JPD Sgt. Jeffery Scott said, referring to the wooded area where the body was found.Scott said he didn’t know how long the woman had been dead. She is Jackson’s 14th homicide victim of the year. The woman carried no identification, and her face was marred beyond recognition, Scott said.”If we don’t get a tip soon about who she is, we’ll have to rely on tracking her fingerprints,” he said.The woman, who appeared to be in her early 20s to mid-30s, did have one recognizable, distinguishing feature: a Tweety Bird tattoo on her right shoulder blade, both Scott and Day said.Most importantly, however, was what Carson was wearing at the time of her death.According to reports, she was wearing a navy blue shirt with a red circle and white symbol in the center, and gray sweatpants. Her shoes were Converse Starbury tennis shoes, which apparently are fairly uncommon in that area. She also had on a gold necklace with a locket.

The colors, details and symbolism of her apparel suggest she may have been claiming to be the woman of a HooverCrip. 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.
