Two 16-year-old Clovis students charged in death of Caleb Quick, police say
Clovis Police Chief Curt Fleming said in a news conference that two teens have been arrested in the April 23 shooting death of 18-year-old Caleb Quick, a student at Clovis Online School. Fleming said a 16-year-old boy was the shooter and a 16-year-old girl drove the getaway car. He said both turned themselves in Friday and that they are students in the Clovis Unified School District, but he wouldn't say which schools. The suspects have been charged with murder, he said. The motive is still being investigated. Quick, who previously attended Buchanan High, and the two suspects knew one another, Fleming said. He added that he feels confident the two suspects were at the location when the crime occurred. Quick was shot and killed outside a popular McDonald's in Clovis after the shooter first stalked him inside the fast-food restaurant. The shooter had help escaping the scene, according to police. Clovis Unified superintendent Corrine Folmer sent an email to parents on Saturday confirming the arrests. She said that 'extra Clovis Unified police officers will also remain deployed at schools most directly impacted by this tragedy.' Fleming released surveillance video on May 2 that showed Quick and 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. A suspect in black clothing and a hoodie entered the restaurant and watched the victim. Fleming said the suspect had his hands in his waistband and inside his front pocket and did not move 'from his position.' Quick and his two friends left the McDonald's. The suspect followed as he left the restaurant while Quick's friends held the door. Moments later, the suspect shot Quick in the side of the head at least one time shortly before 9 p.m., then fled westbound on Nees in a getaway vehicle, described as a newer white Tesla. Fleming had said police were at 'a standstill' and asked the public for help during the May 2 news conference. On Tuesday morning, Clovis Police seized a newer-model white Tesla in a Fresno neighborhood that might be connected to the shooting. Clovis police served a search warrant at a home and located a Tesla in the garage. The vehicle was towed for evidence. A gun was also recovered from the alleged shooter's home, Fleming said. The case was forwarded to the Fresno County District Attorney's Office.

Two suspects have been arrested in connection to the shooting death of Caleb Quick in Clovis, police announced Friday night. The Clovis Police Department said Chief Curt Fleming will hold a press conference on Saturday at police headquarters. Quick, 18, was killed outside a popular McDonald's in Clovis after a suspect first stalked him inside the fast-food restaurant. The shooter had help escaping the scene, according to police. Fleming released surveillance video on May 2 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. A suspect in all-black clothing and a hoodie entered the restaurant and watched the victim. Fleming said the suspect had his hands in his waistband and inside his front pocket and did not move 'from his position.' Quick and his two friends left McDonald's.
