Eve Carson, 22 y/o, she was class president, top of her class and a straight A student who was loved by everyone she came across and never made anyone feel like an outsider. Her academic success was so great that she got full scholarship to both Harvard and Yale. In addition to her academic success, she was also class president and was a humanitarian, who travelled to developing countries to teach and provide aid to children. Eve's life goal was to do medicine and at the time of her death, she was studying pre-med at the University of North Carolina.
In 2008, she was targeted by two criminals, who were looking to rob her. They broke into her apartment and kidnapped her then stole money from her account (~1400 USD). Once, the daily limit was reached, they then walked her out to an intersection, in a woody area, and killed her. Before, they shot her 4 times, it was said that Eve had asked for them to pray with her, when she realized they were going to kill her. Her body was discovered the following morning.
For the next couple of days, the two killers continued to take money from her account, which eventually allowed police to track and find them. Both men were sentence to life in prison and the entire nation of North Carolina moaned for her death. Her funeral service was one of the biggest ever seen in the state at the time. Posthumously, the dean of the university that Eve attended, awarded her the title of most exception female student of her graduating class. In addition to this, a scholarship and a memorial garden were also created to honor her. Eve was so well loved that even to this day, people still know of her name on campus and remember her fondly.
Do you think this young woman should be honored with a statue at North Carolina University?
