Police have arrested a suspect they say was involved in a double homicide on the University of Colorado Colorado Springs campus Friday morning.

In a news release Monday afternoon, Colorado Springs police identified the suspect as 25-year-old Nicholas Jordan of Detroit, who was arrested on suspicion of two counts of first-degree murder.

Investigators obtained a warrant for Jordan’s arrest on Friday night and arrested him Monday morning in the 4900 block of Cliff Point Circle East on the city’s north side, not far from the UCCS campus.

Officers found Jordan in a vehicle at 7:52 a.m., and the Tactical Enforcement Unit arrested him at 8:37 a.m. without incident, police said. 

2 dead, homicide investigation underway at UCCS campus

UCCS spokeswoman Jenna Press confirmed Jordan was a student at the university at the time of the incident.

Just before 6 a.m. on Friday, UCCS police received a shots-fired call from the Crestone House dormitory on campus. When they located the room that the shots reportedly came from, they found two people dead inside of apparent gunshots, police said. The official cause and manner of their respective deaths have not yet been released.

Man, woman found dead at UCCS campus identified

Celie Rain Montgomery, 26, of Pueblo, and Samuel Knopp, 24, of Parker, were autopsied and identified by the El Paso County Coroner’s Office on Saturday, according to a Sunday news release from police.

Knopp was a senior music student at the university, UCCS Chancellor Jennifer Sobanet said in a statement Sunday.

Montgomery, who was not a registered student at the university, was a freelance copywriter, according to her memorialized LinkedIn page. Sobanet stated that Montgomery, too, “will be mourned by the campus community.”

Colorado Springs police on Monday again stressed the homicides were “an isolated incident between individuals who were known to one another and not a random attack against the school or other students at the university.”

Police have not released further details about the suspect, citing the case’s “active and fluid nature,” in a news release Sunday.
