On the morning of February 16, 2024, law enforcement responded to reports of gunfire at a UCCS dormitory. Upon arrival, officers discovered two individuals who had sustained fatal gunshot wounds. The victims were identified as Jordan's roommate and another student residing in the dormitory. Following an investigation, Nicholas Jordan was apprehended and charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
