It was standing room only inside an Oregon courtroom on Monday. Supporters and friends of Filipino-American nurse Melissa Jubane tried to get a glimpse of her accused killer, Bryce Schubert.Schubert, 27, appeared via video feed from the Washington County Jail and pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, kidnapping charges, and second-degree abuse of a corpse.Fil-Am Ken Crebillo and Jubane met at the Filipino club &quot;Kaibigan&quot; at Portland State University.“For many of us, we’re feeling all the things from sadness to the anger that we feel,&quot; said Jubane&#x27;s college friend Ken Crebillo. &quot;All of us are here trying to process. At the same time, we’re also paying attention to the case.”Crebillo, who was among those trying to get into the courtroom on Monday, said Jubane touched so many lives.“She was a center of gravity for so many people, from different people at work to just people in the community here,&quot; Crebillo said, &quot;and how many of her coworkers are also genuine friends of hers outside the workplace. &quot;And then just seeing also for the Portland, Beaverton community, how much our &#x27;kababayans&#x27; are also moved to give all the support that they can.”Investigators believe 32-year-old Jubane was killed on the same day she was reported missing on Sept. 4. Friends and family alerted the police when the newlywed nurse did not show up for work.Two days later, Beaverton police arrested Schubert and found Jubane&#x27;s remains. She was killed less than two weeks after getting married in August in Hawaii.Police said Schubert lived in the same apartment building as Jubane and was also a nurse, but not at the same hospital.Prosecutors and investigators have not revealed a motive, and details of the crime remain sealed.Schubert is being held without bail, and his next court hearing is scheduled for Oct. 15.“We&#x27;re here for the long haul. So the community is getting more and more ready for whatever comes next,” Crebillo added.

The suspect pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, kidnapping charges, and second-degree abuse of a corpse.
