The man accused of killing two people in a dorm room at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs earlier this year had his arraignment delayed on Friday morning.

Nicholas Jordan, 25, is accused of shooting and killing Celie Rain Montgomery, 26, of Pueblo, and UCCS student Samuel Knopp, 24, of Parker, in the early morning hours of Feb. 16 in a campus dormitory.

Jordan and Knopp were roommates and students at UCCS. Jordan’s arrest affidavit states that he had made a death threat against Knopp and that campus security and housing staff recorded multiple complaints about Jordan before the shooting.

Jordan appeared in person Friday morning for his arraignment hearing at which his attorney, Nick Rogers, requested a six-week continuance.

Rogers asked for the continuance because Jordan’s defense team continues to investigate the shooting deaths, and Jordan’s mental health status is slowing the process.

Jordan’s competency has been an issue with the case for months, causing several delays, but he was declared competent to proceed by Judge David Shakes at a hearing in August despite conflicting competency reports from separate experts.

On Friday, Rogers reasserted his belief that his client is incompetent to proceed, describing Jordan as “severely mentally ill” and that it’s impacting his ability to represent him.

Prosecutor Andrew Vaughan objected to a continuance.

Shakes ultimately allowed the continuance, but stated that the next arraignment date scheduled for Nov. 22 will be a final one, and that a plea must be entered at that time.

Jordan’s arraignment hearing for his second case — in which he’s is accused of assaulting a deputy at the El Paso County jail in a dispute over cleaning supplies — was also delayed until Nov. 22.

Jordan remains in custody at the El Paso County jail on a $5 million bond.
