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.

Angela Johnson and Her Son DeAngelo Johnson Killed After Shooting Inside Home in Chicago, Mother’s Boyfriend in Custody
CHICAGO — A 47-year-old mother and her 27-year-old son were fatally shot inside a residence in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood on the West Side late Thursday night, September 24, 2026, according to Chicago police.
The victims were identified as Angela Johnson, 47, and DeAngelo Johnson, 27. Police said a suspect, identified as Angela Johnson’s boyfriend, was taken into custody following the shooting.
The deadly shooting happened in the 800 block of North Parkside Avenue at approximately 10:43 p.m. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots coming from the basement of the residence and called 911.
When Chicago police officers arrived, they found the two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Angela Johnson was found in the basement with a gunshot wound to her chest. Police-radio traffic indicated she had been shot on the right side of her chest.
DeAngelo Johnson was found on the first floor with multiple gunshot wounds. Radio traffic indicated that he had suffered two gunshot wounds to his back.
Both victims were initially unresponsive and in critical condition. Emergency personnel performed CPR on DeAngelo Johnson before both victims were transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
According to police-radio traffic, one victim was pronounced dead at approximately 11:18 p.m., while the male victim was pronounced dead around 11:21 p.m.
Investigators found extensive evidence inside the residence, including approximately 23 shell casings in a basement bedroom. Additional shell casings were reportedly recovered in other areas of the basement, including the stairway, main room and bedroom.
Officers initially recovered a firearm and shell casings from the basement bedroom. Police later located a second firearm inside the home, bringing the total number of recovered firearms to two.
Authorities have not publicly stated who owned the firearms or confirmed which weapon, if either, was used in the fatal shooting.
Police also reported that DeAngelo Johnson was wearing an empty holster when officers found him on the first floor. That discovery prompted an officer-safety alert as officers searched the residence for the missing firearm.
Chicago police said the shooting appeared to be domestic-related and identified the alleged offender as the mother’s boyfriend.
Radio traffic indicated that a person had been detained by approximately 11:26 p.m. The official police report later confirmed that the known offender was taken into custody.
Two witnesses were reportedly available to identify the alleged offender, and officers conducted a show-up identification procedure near the scene.
Police have not released additional information about potential charges against the suspect.
The investigation into the Chicago Austin neighborhood double shooting remains ongoing. Detectives are continuing to examine the circumstances that led to the shooting, the relationship between the people involved and the role of the two recovered firearms.
The deaths of Angela Johnson and DeAngelo Johnson are being investigated as a double homicide.
