The alleged shooter in the killing of Caleb Quick appeared in court Tuesday, when a Fresno County Superior Court judge set a juvenile transfer hearing for Sept. 1 and a confirmation hearing for Aug. 21.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors told the court they expect to call up to 15 witnesses during the transfer hearing and estimated proceedings will last about five days.<\/p>\n

The prosecution also said it has received its expert\u2019s report ahead of the hearing.<\/p>\n

Family members of the victim attended the hearing. The suspect\u2019s mother was the only family member present on behalf of the defendant.<\/p>\n

The court ordered that the alleged shooter remain in custody and allowed him a 24-hour period to have a phone call with his mother.<\/p>\n

Caleb Quick\u2019s Father Reacts to Ongoing Court Cases<\/p>\n

Following the hearing, Caleb Quick\u2019s father, Stephen Quick, said the ongoing court process has brought up difficult emotions for the family.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are hoping for a resolution,\u201d Quick said. \u201cWe have to relive it a couple more times.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked how he felt seeing the suspect in court, Quick said, \u201cHe is alive, doing well while my son is not here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quick also said he remains cautious about the outcome because of the result in the transfer hearing involving the alleged getaway driver. In that case, the court found she was rehabilitative and kept her case in juvenile court<\/a>. Her trial is scheduled for July 28.<\/p>\n

Quick plans to join other families in similar judicial situations that will head to California\u2019s Capitol on Aug. 15 to protest Proposition 57. The proposition forces the court to decide where the minor will be tried as an adult, taking that authority from county district attorneys.<\/p>\n

Timeline of the Murder<\/p>\n

Quick, 18, was shot to death on April 23, 2025, outside of a McDonald\u2019s restaurant in Clovis.<\/p>\n

The Clovis Police Department described the homicide as \u201ctargeted and planned<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

That day, police responded at 8:57 p.m. to reports of gunfire near Willow and Nees avenues.<\/p>\n

Officers found Quick with a gunshot wound to the head. He was transported to a hospital, where he died.<\/p>\n

Investigators say the suspects arrived in a 2024 white Tesla Model 3 at a McDonald\u2019s restaurant 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 headed toward the restaurant around 8:33 p.m.<\/p>\n

The Tesla returned to the parking lot moments later and parked several rows away. Surveillance video showed the shooting suspect entering the McDonald\u2019s at 8:38 p.m., sitting briefly, and then following Quick outside.<\/p>\n

Police said the shooting occurred as Quick approached his car. The shooting suspect ran west toward the city of Fresno and climbed into the Tesla about a minute later. Willow Avenue is the border between the two cities.<\/p>\n

A handgun was later recovered during a search warrant, Clovis Police Chief Curt Fleming said.<\/p>\n

Surveillance footage<\/a>\u00a0showed the suspects leaving the scene before officers arrived.<\/p>\n
