Court appearance and charges
What we know:
During his arraignment Tuesday morning, Logan entered a plea of not guilty. He is currently being held on $2 million bail. Margarsa's family attended the court appearance, marking the first time they saw the man accused of killing their loved one.
Lucas Logan, 20, is accused of killing an employee at Growler Guys in Seattle's Lake City neighborhood. He was charged with first degree murder.
According to court documents, investigators reviewed surveillance footage from the night of the crime.

The worker's older brother Badhasa Margarsa shared his emotional reaction to seeing the suspect face-to-face for the first time in the courtroom Tuesday. Loved ones note that the community deeply misses the worker they called "Q".
"The honest truth? I wish I could go over that and ask him, ‘Why?’" said Badhasa Margarsa. "It just doesn't make sense to me."
