CLOVIS, Calif. — Police have apprehended two juveniles in connection with the shooting death of 18-year-old Caleb Quick, who was killed outside a McDonald’s last month. The incident occurred on April 23, following Quick’s attendance at the Clovis Rodeo, where he had gathered with friends.
Law enforcement officials report that a male juvenile was arrested on murder charges late Friday afternoon after being surrendered to the authorities by his attorney. A female juvenile was also placed in custody, but the specific charges against her remain undisclosed. The investigation has drawn significant attention due to the violent nature of the crime and the youth of those involved.
Surveillance footage from the restaurant captures the male suspect lurking around for an extended period before approaching Quick and opening fire. He then fled the scene in a white Tesla, leaving witnesses shaken and the community in shock. Authorities have since recovered a vehicle believed to be linked to the crime from a residence in Clovis.
As part of the ongoing investigation, a 16-year-old girl was questioned at the home where the Tesla was found but was subsequently released without charges. The motive for the shooting has not yet been established, raising questions about the circumstances leading up to the tragic event.
Local police are expected to hold a press conference on Saturday to share more details about the case and the current status of the investigation. The Clovis community has expressed its grief over Quick’s untimely death, with many calling for justice and greater measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
The loss of a young life has reverberated throughout the area, triggering discussions about violence and youth engagement. As the investigation unfolds, residents are left hoping for answers and a resolution to this heartbreaking tragedy.
