Laurence Alvin Lovette Jr., who is being charged with first-degree murder for the 2008 shooting of former UNC student body president Eve Carson, will appear in court Nov. 28 for trial, Orange County District Attorney Jim Woodall said.
Lovette, a co-defendant for the crime, is not eligible for the death penalty because he was 17 years old at the time of the shooting.
Prosecutors say on March 5, 2008, Lovette and Demario James Atwater kidnapped Carson from her home. They then drove Carson in her blue 2005 Toyota Highlander to a bank to withdraw $1,400 from her account before shooting her five times in a neighborhood off East Franklin Street.
Atwater received his federal sentence in Winston-Salem in 2010 after pleading guilty to charges related to Carson’s death.
