Quan and Lynch were teammates at Cal.
Police have yet to come up with a motive or a suspect in the ensuing weeks.
Clavo was set to play in a playoff football game on Nov. 13, but hours before kickoff, he and a teammate were shot in a car that was sprayed with bullets.
Nicole Clavo is asking for a gift this holiday season: answers surrounding her son's death. The reward money aimed at providing those answers keeps growing.
