Two people found fatally shot in a Colorado university dorm room were identified Sunday as investigators continued to search for a killer most likely known to the victims, police said.
Police identified Samuel Knopp, 24, of Parker, about 60 miles north of the campus, as a student at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, where he was found dead Friday.
Also found dead in the Crestone House residence was Celie Rain Montgomery of Pueblo, about 45 miles south of campus, Colorado Springs police said. She was not a student at the university, the police department said in a statement.
Police cited an El Paso County coroner's office autopsy for the identities but said the exact cause and manner of death were still forthcoming.
In the meantime, police said, the deaths were being investigated as a homicide case with a killer who may have been known to the pair.
