The alleged female getaway driver in the murder of Caleb Quick appeared in court Monday morning, according to the Fresno County District Attorney’s Office.

In a previous hearing, both the prosecutor and defense said they were hoping to schedule the transfer hearing at Monday’s hearing.

The transfer hearing will determine whether the suspect will be tried as a juvenile or an adult.

However, the case was continued and is now scheduled for Dec. 9 at 8:30 a.m. due to the prosecutor being assigned to a homicide trial in Fresno.

The hope, the DA’s office said, is that the transfer hearing will be set in December for early 2026.

Here is the latest on the Quick hearings:

Alleged Getaway Driver Sept. 2 Hearing

The 16-year-old accused getaway driver in the killing of Quick appeared in court on Sept. 2.

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 hoped to set a date for a transfer hearing.

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.

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 had 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.
