CLOVIS, Calif. (KFSN) -- The teenager who was shot and killed outside a McDonald's in Clovis has been identified as 18-year-old Caleb Quick.

He was a former student at Buchanan High School and was attending Clovis Online School.

It happened just before 9 pm Wednesday at the location on Willow and Nees.

The Clovis Police Department says Quick was shot at least once in the parking lot.

Quick was rushed to the hospital, where he died.

That deadly shooting is impacting the community at the Clovis Hills North Campus, where Quick was a member.

The church has opened a prayer room and is offering pastoral services.

"The young man, whoever did that, they've just thrown their life away doing something incredibly evil," says Senior Pastor Shawn Beaty. "Not just hurt one person, but so many people are devastated by it. It's a lose-lose situation."

Witnesses told Action News that Quick was planning on going into the military.

The search is currently underway for the suspect, who reportedly ran from the scene.

He was described only as wearing a black-hooded sweatshirt.

There is no known motive for the attack.

The Clovis Unified School District is providing emotional resources for students and families, along with extra police presence on campus.
