Police in Durham, N.C., have arrested a man who may be a person of interest in the murder of a University of North Carolina student during an overnight raid and have handed him over to the Chapel Hill Police Department, according to ABC News affiliate
WTVD.

Possible Break in Murder Case
Raw video of the arrest shows a young black male who fits the description of the person police believe used Eve Carson's ATM card the night the UNC student body president was found fatally shot near campus.
Orange County District Attorney Jim Woodall said that police are now questioning a person of interest at the Chapel Hill Police Headquarters, according to WTVD.
Authorities in Durham and Chapel Hill would not confirm to ABC News that the man arrested was connected to the Carson investigation, but said authorities were meeting and would have some type of announcement for the media later today.
Durham is approximately 12 miles from Chapel Hill, where police have been investigating the fatal March 5 shooting. They have released two sets of images of the man they think tried to use Carson's ATM card in the night she was murdered.
Investigators say the man in the video may know something about what happened between 1:30 a.m. March 5  the last time Carson's friends saw the 22-year-old alive  and 5 a.m. March 5, when a pair of residents called 911 to report hearing several gunshots in their neighborhood.
He also may be the person who pulled the trigger, according to police.
Chapel Hill police released the second pair of surveillance images Monday night. Those still photos show a young, black male with long hair wearing jeans, sneakers and a black coat over a black shirt walking into a convenience store moments before someone used Carson's ATM card at the store's ATM.
Chapel Hill Police Chief Brian Curran said Monday night that the man was the only person in the store when the ATM card was used.

New Pics of Man Wanted in UNC Slaying
The convenience store images follow two stills released this weekend that showed a young, black male with long hair tucked beneath a Houston Astros baseball cap. The man is driving a car  perhaps Carson's Toyota Highlander, police say  as he stops in front of a drive-through ATM and tries to make a withdrawal.
Police believe the person in the store and in the car is the same man. On Monday, Chapel Hill police also announced that there was potentially a second person of interest, after a close examination of the drive-through ATM photos showed what may be the outline of a second person sitting behind the driver's seat.
"Questions have surfaced about an individual possibly seated in the rear passenger seat of the vehicle," Chapel Hill police said in a statement Monday. "We do believe there is a second unidentified male seated in the rear seat. We have been exploring ways to enhance the quality of this photo in an effort to learn more about this person."

Police said Monday evening that Carson's ATM card was being used at both locations, but they declined to say whether money was successfully withdrawn from her account. Authorities have maintained since Carson's body was found last week that the murder appears to be a random crime.
Carson's sport utility vehicle was found parked a few blocks from her off-campus home Thursday afternoon, more than a day after her body was discovered. Authorities hope someone who saw the man in the photographs either at the store or in the vehicle will come forward with information.
The UNC board of trustees has offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in Carson's killing. The pre-medicine double biology and political science major also served as a board member.
Search warrants filed in the case revealed that police found Carson's cell phone near a shopping center on the road that connects the towns of Chapel Hill and Durham. Authorities have not recovered her wallet or keys and are searching a student laptop and memory cards from her campus office.
