Cassie Michael and Byron Rangel arrested for shooting that killed 18-year-old Caleb Quick
CLOVIS, Calif. — One day after two teenagers were arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Caleb Quick, Clovis Police Chief Curt Fleming is scheduled to provide a public update on the case Saturday morning at 10 a.m.
The arrests stem from a shooting that occurred on the night of April 23 outside a McDonald’s restaurant located at Willow and Nees Avenues.
Surveillance footage captured a suspect dressed in black following Caleb Quick for approximately 13 minutes before fatally shooting him outside the business.
Following the incident, the investigation stalled for more than a week.
However, progress was made when Clovis Police released surveillance images of a white Tesla believed to have been used as a getaway vehicle.
A teenage girl seen in connection with the vehicle was initially detained but later released.
On Friday, developments accelerated. Clovis Police arrested two 16-year-olds, identified as Cassie Michael and Byron Rangel, in connection with the homicide, Channel2 NOW has learned.
Clovis Police Chief Curt Fleming did confirm that both suspects were facing homicide charges and were booked on suspicion of Penal Code 187.
Both suspects also attended Clovis Unified schools at the time of the shooting.
According to authorities, investigators had been closing in on the suspects and planned coordinated arrests.
The female suspect, represented by a private defense attorney, voluntarily surrendered to police.
She was at the attorney’s office in downtown Fresno when they arranged her transport to Clovis Police Headquarters.
Shortly after, the male suspect also surrendered, turning himself in around 3:30 p.m.
Chief Fleming is expected to provide additional details and address community concerns at the scheduled press briefing.
