COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A man and a woman found shot dead in a University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) dorm room were identified by Colorado Springs Police Sunday.
Celie Rain Montgomery, 26, of Pueblo and Samuel Knopp, 24, of Parker were found dead in a room in the Crestone House dorm just after 6 a.m. Friday. Police said Knopp was a registered student at UCCS, and Montgomery was not.
In a statement, the university said Knopp was a senior studying music and was a member of the Visual and Performing Arts department. They said he was an accomplished guitar player and an extremely talented musician.
Police said they are investigating both deaths as homicides.
"Investigative efforts so far continue to indicate this is an isolated incident between parties that were known to one another and not a random attack against the school or other students at the university," police said in a news release.
The campus has been closed since Friday.
