The killings of a Colorado college student and a woman in a campus dorm one week ago were preceded by conflicts between roommates, according to a court document unsealed Friday.
Among the arguments the roommates had was one over taking out the trash, according to a police detective’s affidavit filed in court to support the arrest of Nicholas Trevon Jordan, 25, a University of Colorado Colorado Springs student.
Jordan, 25, has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the Feb. 16 deaths of roommate Samuel Knopp, 24, and Celie Rain Montgomery, 26, in a dorm at the Crestone House residences.
The affidavit, which was unsealed Friday, cited an interview with another roommate of Jordan and Knopp's, who said Knopp collected a bag of garbage and placed it near the defendant’s door in January, precipitating a death threat, according to the affidavit.
“Mr. Jordan threatened Mr. Knopp and told him that he would ‘kill him’ and there would be consequences if Mr. Jordan was asked to take out the trash again,” the affidavit stated.
