Former Portland State football player Keenan Harpole was charged with second-degree murder in the killing of fellow student Amara Marluke, according to KGW 8's Alma McCarty.
Harpole pleaded not guilty on Tuesday and is being held without bail at Multnomah County jail. He was arrested after turning himself in to police on Monday afternoon. He is also charged with unlawful use of a weapon.
Portland State President Stephen Percy announced that Marluke was killed early Monday morning near the university campus.
"I am profoundly affected by the sheer tragedy of this loss," Percy said.
