Police said they responded to reports of gunshots. Carson was identified Thursday morning, according to a police press release.
As of early Thursday afternoon, police had not made any arrests. Police said she had last been seen alive at 1:30 a.m. early Wednesday, the Raleigh News & Observer reported.
Police are looking for Carson's stolen 2005 blue Toyota Highlander with Georgia license plate AIV 6690, the newspaper reported on its Web site.
Carson was the recipient of the school's prestigious Morehead Scholarship and was a pre-med student double majoring in biology and political science.
She participated in leadership and service at UNC and, according to the university, had also been student body president at Clarke Central.
Carson's death came just one day after the shooting death of another Georgia student, Lauren Burk, of Marietta, while attending college out of state. Burk was a freshman at Auburn and was found dying of a gunshot wound along a road a few miles from campus on Tuesday evening.
