FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The juvenile trial of a teenage girl accused in the shooting death of Clovis teenager Caleb Quick is underway.
On Thursday, July 30, cameras were allowed inside the courtroom for the first time since the case began more than a year ago.
Prosecutors allege the girl was driving a white Tesla on the night of Quick's death in April 2025 and helped the suspected gunman, her boyfriend, flee the scene after the shooting.
The trial follows a high-profile transfer hearing in May, when a judge ruled the girl would remain in juvenile court rather than be tried as an adult.

How did we get to this point in the case of Caleb Quick's murder?
With the trial of one of the two suspects accused in the murder of Caleb Quick underway, let's recap how we got to this point.
Quick was shot and killed outside a Clovis McDonald's the night of April 23, 2025. Quick was a high school senior who was about to graduate and planned to join the Air Force, according to his family.
Nine days after the attack, Clovis Police released surveillance video from inside the McDonald's and identified a white Tesla as the suspected getaway car. The vehicle was later seized from a Clovis home, and a teenage girl was removed in handcuffs and identified as the getaway driver.
The shooter, identified as a teenage boy, remained on the loose for more than two weeks. Eventually, both teens were arrested and charged with the murder.
The alleged motive, according to prosecutors, stems from a rape accusation involving Quick and a friend of the girl suspect.
Prosecutors attempted to have both suspects tried as adults, which led to multiple delays lasting until April of this year. That's when a judge ruled there was "overwhelming circumstantial evidence" to see if the teen girl suspect should be tried as an adult.
By May, it was ruled the girl would not be tried as an adult. She could now face a much shorter sentence, with the chance for rehabilitation in the juvenile justice system, if she is convicted at trial.
The alleged gunman's transfer hearing is set to begin on Sept. 1. Proceedings are expected to last about five court days, with prosecutors planning to call close to 15 witnesses.

Witness testifies teen girl appeared 'on edge' before Quick was shot
Tuesday's hearing began with more testimony from Carlos Navarro, a friend of the two teen suspects.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Kendall Reynolds asked Navarro whether he had contact with the teen girl following the shooting.
Navarro says he called her shortly after it happened to her that Quick had been shot. He did not recall her reaction.
Navarro then describes a moment inside the McDonald's prior to the shooting. He says when the masked man walked in, he immediately told his friends the man reminded him of the girl's boyfriend, now accused of being the gunman.
Navarro says the teen girl quickly denied his claims, saying things like "that's not possible," and "he doesn't even dress like that."
Surveillance video from the restaurant then shows the moment Navarro says the teen girl told him about an allegation of sexual assault involving Caleb Quick. Navarro is seen in the video leaning in, listening intently as she describes the allegation.
He described her demeanor at this point as "on edge."
Navarro says the next time he saw her was the next morning, at Quick's grievance, where he saw her crying.
