The city confirmed Page is the employee the Uvalde Police Department said it placed an employee on paid leave after failing to release videos tied to the Robb Elementary shooting.
Records from the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement, or TCOLE, show that Page has been with UPD since 2006.
Page is among the hundreds of officers who responded to the shooting.
It took law enforcement more than 77 minutes to confront the shooter, who killed 19 kids and two teachers on May 24, 2022.
UPD is the first agency to release records after media outlets sued the city, school district, county and the Texas Department of Public Safety in 2022.
Two days after the August 2024 records release, UPD Chief Homer Delgado ordered an audit of the department’s servers after an officer told him that a portion of an officer’s body-worn camera was not included in the files’ release.
The audit uncovered additional footage, according to a news release.
In a statement shared with KSAT on Thursday, the city said it is “focused on ensuring compliance with the new court order” to release it.
Video from Page’s body camera is not included in the records released to KSAT in August.
City report cleared Page from wrongdoing
A Uvalde-funded report on the response to the shooting released in March 2024 exonerated Page.
Investigator Jesse Prado said there was no indication of wrongdoing or violating policy for Page. Prado said Page went directly to the shooter’s location, only had a partial view of Room 112 and assisted in evacuating children from other classrooms.
“All his actions were in good faith,” Prado said of Page.
