Brother of Colorado Dorm Murders Suspect Claims Innocence, Amidst Shocking Allegations
The tragic and senseless killings that rocked the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs community took a chilling turn as Nicholas Jordan, a 25-year-old student, faced accusations of shooting and killing his former roommate, Samuel Knopp, 24, and Celie Montgomery, 26, in a dorm room last Friday.
As details of the horrific incident emerged, Jordan's brother, Brandon, broke his silence, defiantly proclaiming, "Keep looking because you got the wrong guy.”

In a heartfelt plea to authorities, Brandon Jordan stood by his brother, painting a picture of a studious and dedicated individual pursuing an accounting degree with a track record of academic excellence.
Expressing unwavering support and disbelief at the allegations, Brandon emphasized his conviction that Nicholas was innocent of the heinous crimes that had unfolded, despite the mounting evidence presented in court.
The Jordan family's tragic history, marked by the unsolved murder of their younger brother, Christian, over a year ago, added a layer of complexity to the unfolding narrative. Nicholas Jordan's social media tributes to his late brother further underscored the profound impact of loss on the family, raising questions about the psychological toll and potential motives behind the shocking act of violence that claimed two lives.

Prosecutors, however, presented a starkly different portrayal of Nicholas Jordan during a tense court appearance, highlighting concerns about his potential threat to witnesses and the UCCS campus community.
The prosecution's assertions of a firearm found in Jordan's possession and alleged attempts to flee the state painted a troubling picture, leading the judge to increase his bail from $1 million to a staggering $5 million in cash.
