Judge Rules on Teen Getaway Driver in Murder Case

In a Fresno County courtroom, a judge determined on Wednesday that enough evidence exists to move forward with the case against a teenage girl accused in the April 2025 shooting death of Caleb Quick. Prosecutors presented witness testimony and evidence, including details about the alleged murder weapon and the suspect's confession.

The girl's attorney acknowledged she drove the getaway car but argued against murder charges. Detectives testified about witness statements and the suspect's alleged admission of guilt, stating he felt he had "done what he needed to do to get justice." Allegations that Quick had sexually assaulted a girl were mentioned, though his father denied them. The court will hear arguments on Thursday regarding whether the teenage girl will be tried as an adult. A similar hearing is scheduled for the male suspect later this year.
