The 16-year-old accused female getaway driver in the killing of Caleb Quick appeared in court Tuesday morning.
Family members of both the suspect and victim attended the hearing, where they exchanged condolences outside the courtroom.
The judge scheduled another settlement conference, at which the defense hopes to set a date for a transfer hearing. That hearing will determine whether the teen will be tried as an adult.
The next court date is set for Oct. 13 at 8:30 a.m.
Here is the latest on the Quick hearings:
Alleged Shooter’s Aug. 25 Hearing
The 16-year-old accused of killing Quick in what prosecutors have described as an “execution-style” murder appeared in court Aug. 25.
The teen’s last previous court appearance was June 8, when the court confirmed that the transfer memo, which could determine whether he will be tried as an adult, had been received by all parties.
During a June 4 hearing, the defense alleged that Quick had assaulted multiple individuals while attempting to secure the minor’s release. Prosecutors said the allegations were irrelevant to whether the teen should remain in custody.
The hearing drew larger-than-usual groups of family, friends, and supporters for both sides. Quick’s family was joined by parents who have lost children to violence.
During the Prop. 57 status hearing, the two sides agreed to schedule another hearing for Oct. 28. The defense said its goal is to set a date for a hearing, which is still pending. The prosecution is still working on the items needed for the transfer hearing to be scheduled.
The court noted that a statement from Quick’s mother had been received and added to the case file.
The teen suspect will remain in custody and has the opportunity to speak with his mother on the phone within the next 24 hours.
Timeline of April 23 Murder
The Clovis Police Department described the April 23 homicide as targeted and planned.
Police responded to reports of gunfire near Willow and Nees avenues at 8:57 p.m.
Officers found Quick with a gunshot wound to the head. He was transported to a hospital, where he died.
Investigators said the suspects arrived in a 2024 white Tesla Model 3 at a McDonald’s around 7:44 p.m. and left the lot at 8:12 p.m. Quick arrived at 8:22 p.m., followed by the male shooting suspect, who crossed the street toward the restaurant around 8:33 p.m.
The Tesla returned to the parking lot moments later and parked several rows away. Surveillance video showed the shooting suspect entering the McDonald’s at 8:38 p.m., sitting briefly and then following Quick outside.
Police said the shooting occurred at 8:56 p.m. as Quick approached his car. The shooting suspect fled west toward Fresno and climbed into the Tesla about a minute later. A handgun was recovered during a search warrant, Clovis Police Chief Curt Fleming said.
Surveillance footage confirmed the suspects left the scene before officers arrived.
Clovis police announced the arrests on May 9. At a news conference the following day, Fleming said both teens Clovis Unified School District students and knew the victim.
