updated Tuesday, April, 10 at 12:15 p.m.

It is possible authorities will have to release the with a 41-year-old Concord resident and his 9-year-old daughter on Treat Boulevard Saturday. 

The results of a police investigation into the circumstances of the accident which resulted in the death of Solaiman Nuri and his daughter, Hadessa Nuri, are expected to take close to two weeks, Concord Police Lt. Bill Roche said Monday.

The law, however, requires juveniles to be released within two days should formal charges not be filed. That deadline is today, Tuesday, at 4:30 p.m.

The 17-year-old, whose name Patch is withholding because of his age and because he has not been charged as an adult, was booked into the Martinez Detention Facility Saturday under a vehicular manslaughter charge, according to police information. 

Solaiman, Hadessa and surviving 12-year-old Hannah Nuri were riding bicycles home from the park when the SUV witnesses say was driving at a faster-than-safe speed collided with them on the curb.

of an emotional Sunday evening candle-light vigil held in honor of the Nuris at the scene of the fatal accident. 

The district attorney's office will not file charges until it receives a complete report on the accident from the Concord Police Department, and investigators are still compiling the report, police Lt. Bill Roche said.

"They want the entire packet done before they make the review. We still have a lot of work to do," Roche said. 

Roche said investigators are poring over physical evidence, witness reports and the mechanical review of the vehicle involved, a white 2002 Cadillac Escalade. They are also looking into whether the teen was texting or talking on the phone and whether drugs or alcohol were involved in the accident, Roche said.

Roche said the teen will likely be released from custody today while police continue their investigation.
       
The car was traveling at an "excessive rate of speed" through the intersection when it went out of control, struck a fire hydrant, hit the bicyclists, then careened into a building, Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Fire Marshal Lewis Broschard said.
          
"We believe speed to be a factor, but the sequence of events is still under investigation," Roche said.

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call Traffic Officer Ken Carlson at (925) 603-5931
