Lock appeared from Anaconda-Deer Lodge Detention Center. He was born in 1965 and is a resident of Birch Street in Anaconda.
He is charged deliberate homicide with a penalty enhancement for use of a deadly weapon.
Prosecutors allege that Lock shot Charles at the bar once with a handgun. He was then disarmed by a patron and ran from the bar.
Lock could face life in prison or potentially the death penalty.
He will be appointed a public defender.
A preliminary hearing is set for July 17.
Bail has been set at $1 million.
