Assistant Chief of Police Homer Delgado will be named interim chief of police, Smith said.
UVALDE – The city of Uvalde announced Tuesday afternoon that Police Chief Daniel Rodriguez has resigned, effective April 6. 'The City of Uvalde is grateful to Chief Rodriguez for his 26 years of service to our community and we wish him the best as he pursues new career opportunities,' said Mayor Cody Smith. Rodriguez was the chief when the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School took place in May 2022, but was out of town that day. Lt.
Austin-based investigator and former police detective Jesse Prado made the report for the Uvalde City Council, saying the responding local officers acted in 'good faith' on May 24, 2022, when 19 students and two teachers were killed. Law enforcement took over an hour to get inside the classroom and kill the gunman, even as children inside the classrooms called 911, begging police to rescue them.
