Suspect in Caleb Quick slaying stalked Clovis teen and had help, police say
The man suspected of killing Caleb Quick outside a popular McDonald's in Clovis stalked the 18-year-old inside the fast-food restaurant and had help escaping the scene, according to Clovis police.
Clovis police Chief Curt Fleming released surveillance video on Friday that showed Quick and his two friends entering the McDonald's, located at Willow and Nees avenues, and talking inside the restaurant for 13 minutes the night of the killing.
Moments later, the suspect entered the restaurant in all-black clothing with a hoodie — Fleming said 'you can barely see his eyes' — and sat a distance away and watched Quick.
Fleming said the suspect had his hands in his waistband and inside his front pocket and would not move 'from his position.'
Quick and his two friends left McDonald's. The suspect followed as he left the restaurant while Quick's friends held the door.
Moments later, the suspect shot Quick on the side of the head at least one time shortly before 9 p.m. on April 23 before fleeing westbound on Nees in a getaway vehicle, described as a newer white Tesla.
Fleming said the suspect had arrived walking eastbound from Fresno on Nees and entered the crosswalk before reaching McDonald's.
'It was a planned (attack),' Fleming said at a Friday morning news conference at Clovis police headquarters. 'It was obviously targeted towards Caleb.'
Fleming said detectives have interviewed 50 people.
Clovis police are waiting on multiple search warrants to be granted.
The suspect is described to be 5-foot-to 6-foot and light-skinned.
A GoFundMe was already established where people can donate.
Anyone with information is asked to call police 559-324-2800 or can call Valley Crime Stoppers at 559-498-7867. Crime Stoppers is offering a $10,000 reward.
