Overview
- Day 2 featured extended testimony from lead investigator Detective Phil Kaiser, followed by defense cross-examination after a procedural delay, with court set to reconvene Monday.
- Prosecutors say Page fired six .40-caliber rounds from an elevated spot at the Scribner House, killing 18-year-old Bryce Gerlach and injuring two bystanders, and no firearm has been recovered.
- Kaiser testified that a November 2024 search of Page’s dorm turned up a black backpack and mask that matched witness descriptions of the shooter’s attire.
- The defense emphasized absent physical links, noting eight shell casings were not tested for DNA or fingerprints, four seized guns were not tied to Page, and no gunshot residue, video or photos place him with a weapon.
- Investigators said Page did not surface as a suspect until Oct. 30, when the grandmother of another suspect gave police his name 18 days after the shooting.
