FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — The teenage girl who is the accused getaway driver in the death of Caleb Quick will not be tried as an adult.<\/p>\n

The girl will remain housed at the juvenile justice center without bail.<\/p>\n

EDITOR’S NOTE: The video above is from a previous broadcast and will be updated.<\/p>\n

The ruling was handed down in a Fresno County courtroom on Friday.<\/p>\n

Action News was in the courtroom when the ruling was read saw the girl’s father visibly shaking at times.<\/p>\n

Supporters of Quick screamed “yes!” at one point while the ruling was read, but the judge quickly shut it down saying it was not the end of the analysis.<\/p>\n

Quicks father, Stephen, was slumped forward holding his face in the courtroom.<\/p>\n

There was complete silence once the judge finished reading her ruling with no reactions.<\/p>\n

With Friday’s ruling, the teen will now face a much shorter sentence with the chance for rehabilitation in the juvenile justice system if she is convicted at trial.<\/p>\n

Quick was gunned down in the parking lot of the McDonald’s on Willow and Nees on April 23, 2025.<\/p>\n

The defense team gave a glimpse into a potential motive, claiming the girl was made aware of an alleged rape committed by Quick<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Surveillance footage appears to show the girl inside the McDonald’s minutes before the deadly shooting.<\/p>\n

She is accused of driving the white Tesla that was used to remove the alleged shooter, her boyfriend, from the scene.<\/p>\n

Days later, the Tesla was seized during a search warrant at a home about a mile away from the deadly shooting. The girl was initially briefly detained and then released.<\/p>\n

Police have seized a Tesla that they believe could be connected to a teen’s murder outside a Clovis McDonald’s last month.<\/p>\n

The defense argued that the girl was “inconsolable” after the shooting, having to be driven home by the male suspect’s brother.<\/p>\n

The alleged shooter is on track for a similar transfer hearing later this year.<\/p>\n

Action News will continue to follow the high-profile court cases and bring updates both on air and online.<\/p>\n
