Seattle Police Arrest 20-Year-Old in Killing of 25-Year-Old Beer Garden Worker

Monday's arrest put a 20-year-old man in King County jail for investigation of murder in the shooting death of Quusaa Margarsa, 25.
Margarsa was working late Friday at The Growler Guys on Lake City Way Northeast when he was shot; a co-worker found him dead the next morning.
Seattle police have not said whether detectives believe the killing was a botched robbery or a targeted attack, and they are still seeking tips through the department's violent-crimes line.
At the north Seattle beer garden, friends, relatives and customers built a memorial over the weekend for Margarsa — known as "Q" — a Nathan Hale High graduate and member of the school's 2017 championship basketball team.
A beloved 25-year-old was killed at work. Is this a tragic, isolated crime or a symptom of a failing public safety system?
