CLOVIS, Calif. (KFSN) -- The latest information in the case of Caleb Quick's death is a nine-day-old video from the McDonald's at Willow Station in Clovis.

It looks like a normal scene as a youth church group ate. But right in the center, Chief Curt Fleming says a person dressed in all-black was watching Quick.

"It was a pre-planned, targeted murder," Chief Fleming said.

The suspect, likely a man, entered the store 13 minutes before and sat quietly.

They appeared to focus intently on Quick from across the dining room. When Quick moved, so did the suspect.

"Because this pole is in the way, you're going to see him push out to keep eye contact with him," Chief Fleming explained.

It was the final moment of calm before the violence. As Quick left the dining room, the person in all-black followed.

They were 13 steps behind Quick, so close that the victim's friend held the door open.

"As the victim was walking toward his car, the suspect walks up behind him and to his left, and then shoots him one time in the side of the head," the chief said.

Investigators believe the suspect ran west across 10 lanes of traffic into Fresno.

A white Tesla was waiting. Surveillance cameras caught a clue.

"The 2024 or newer model, on the back portion here, it actually spells out "Tesla" versus having a symbol. That's why we know it's a 2024 or newer."

There are still more questions than answers.

There is no license plate. No motive. No idea how the suspect knew Quick was there.

"You called it targeted, Chief. Is there any threat to the community with the suspect still on the loose?" Action News asked.

"I can't confidently answer that. I mean, I don't know his motive. I don't know much about it. I just know that it was planned. It was obviously targeted towards Caleb, but I don't know what else is there," the chief said.

Investigators have interviewed over 50 witnesses, but the investigation is at a "standstill."

Valley Crime Stoppers is now offering a $10,000 reward for information.
