Murders in Chapel Hill?

With so much attention being given to the apparent horrific murders of young people in Newark, NJ, I wonder how many murders there have been in the CHCHP area this year? I doubt it is zero, but whatever number above that it is, perhaps we should go back and take a little more time describing those lives that were lost. Who were these people? What was it that made their lives special? What were the specific circumstances - as best known - that brought those lives to an end?
