Hearing scheduled for UCCS shooting suspect after KOAA obtains video of jail assault

KOAA News5:

A previously unscheduled hearing in the criminal case for Nicholas Jordan is set for 3 p.m. on Friday. Jordan is accused of shooting and killing Samuel Knopp, 24, and Celie Montgomery, 26, at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs (UCCS) campus on Feb. 16.

Jordan is facing first-degree murder charges, but was found incompetent to stand trial at his most recent hearing on April 12. Jordan also faces additional charges from an alleged assault on a sheriff’s deputy while in custody.

The prosecution has requested a second evaluation, with results expected on a May 31 court date. Jordan’s criminal trial won’t proceed until he’s found competent.
