UCCS shooting suspect’s bond increased to $5 million

Nicholas Jordan

The suspect in the shooting death of two people in a University of Colorado Colorado Springs dorm room appeared in court Tuesday afternoon where his bail was increased from $1 million to $5 million cash-only. 

Nicholas Jordan, 25, was arrested Monday morning, three days after he allegedly shot and killed two people in Crestone House, a dormitory in the Alpine Village community on UCCS campus. The Colorado Springs Police Department said he is from Detroit and was found in a vehicle about 3 miles west of campus.

In court on Tuesday prosecution argued that Jordan presented a flight risk and was planning to flee the state. The district attorney also said that Jordan was a potential danger to the community due to the nature of the charges and that a firearm was allegedly found in his vehicle at the time of his arrest. 

In the bond agreement Jordan is required to relinquish his passport. Bond may be argued again at Jordan’s first appearance at the end of the week. 

Colorado Springs police confirmed on Tuesday morning that Jordan was a roommate with one of the victims. 

Samuel Knopp, 24, and Celie Rain Montgomery, 26, were found dead with at least one gunshot wound each just after 6 a.m. Friday by UCCS campus police. Reports of shots fired came in at 5:59 a.m.

According to police, Knopp and Jordan were roommates, though the motive and what led to the shooting remain unclear. Both Jordan and Knopp were registered students of the university at the time of the shooting. CSPD noted all three knew each other.

Jordan’s next court appearance is set for Feb. 23.
