Clovis Police have two juvenile suspects in custody under Penal Code section 187, murder.
A 16-year-old male and female turned themselves in to Clovis PD on May 9 at approximately 4 p.m. with the assistance of their attorneys.
On Saturday at 10 a.m., Clovis Police Chief Curt Fleming held a press conference at the Clovis Police Department (Clovis PD) regarding the homicide of Caleb Quick on April 23.
Fleming provided a timeline of the events that night.
• At 7:44 p.m., a white Tesla arrived at the McDonald’s on Willow and Nees Avenues.
• The Tesla left 28 minutes later at 8:12 p.m.
• At 8:22 p.m., Quick arrived at the McDonald’s.
• Surveillance footage shows the suspect walking on Nees Avenue, west of Willow Avenue, at 8:33 p.m.
• The suspect is seen watching Quick while sitting in the McDonald’s at 8:38 p.m.
• At 8:56 p.m., the male suspect is seen following Quick and his friends outside of the McDonald’s.
• The shooting occurred right after this at approximately 8:57 p.m. in the Willow Station parking lot.
• At 8:57 p.m., the Tesla took off, and the suspect was seen running west through the parking lot toward Willow Avenue.
• The female suspect then picked up the male suspect and drove off at 8:59 p.m.
• Police believe the suspects left the area westbound on Nees Avenue at 9 p.m.
Fleming said that the District Attorney’s office will determine the specific charges and whether or not the suspects will remain in custody through the remainder of the investigation.
According to Fleming, the female driver of the white Tesla, the getaway vehicle, and the male suspect are presumed to be dating, and both individuals knew Quick personally.
Fleming addressed the rumors circulating on social media regarding the homicide.
“Just sit back and let us do our job and put out the factual information,” Fleming said. “It doesn’t help the family who’s grieving right now to hear some of the things that are being said.”
This remains an ongoing investigation, but Fleming said he is confident that the City of Clovis is no longer in danger.
