In a shocking development, the Gold Star family of Richard Halliday, the Fort Bliss soldier who was murdered on Fort Bliss in July 2020, has received confirmation that his murder was premeditated. New evidence corroborates earlier reports suggesting that his death was not only ordered but was also the result of a “Code Red” – a military term for an unlawful command to eliminate a fellow soldier. This extreme measure was reportedly taken as retaliation for Halliday’s whistleblowing activities, which exposed criminal trafficking within military ranks.

Sources have revealed to the Family, the scope of Halliday’s whistleblowing has now expanded to include his uncovering of crucial information tied to the devastating Walmart mass shooting that occurred on August 3, 2019, in El Paso, Texas. This revelation adds a chilling layer to the ongoing investigation, as it suggests that Halliday had stumbled upon orchestrated efforts related to the mass shooting, which claimed the lives of 23 people, and injuring 23 people.

According to new details, the young soldier had been actively reporting on criminal activity, potentially implicating both military and non-military personnel. His attempts to expose trafficking networks and hidden information on the Walmart mass shooting reportedly placed him in grave danger, leading to the decision to silence him permanently. Sources indicate that Halliday’s evidence was critical and directly linked to the involvement of high-level players in the Walmart shooting, intensifying the retaliation against him.

In an equally disturbing twist, the investigation has now extended to the death of another Fort Bliss soldier, Glendon Oakley Jr., who had made headlines on the day of the Walmart shooting. Oakley, a then-active duty soldier, appeared live on CNN with Wolf Blitzer, detailing his harrowing experience of rescuing children during the shooting. He mentioned that shots were fired not just at the Walmart, but also inside the nearby Cielo Vista Mall. Even more shocking were his claims that he saw a group of individuals in uniform, resembling mall security but armed with M4 rifles, inside the mall during the incident.

Following his brave statements, Oakley faced relentless retaliation, captured in various videos showing the increasing pressure he was under. Just months later, in April 2020, Oakley was found dead in his Fort Bliss barracks, with initial reports labeling it a suicide. However, with recent revelations in the Halliday case, Oakley’s death is now being re-examined, raising questions about whether he, too, was silenced for what he had witnessed and disclosed.

As the investigation deepens, reports of more federal resources are being allocated to uncover the full extent of the criminal network, which now spans human trafficking, mass shootings, and unlawful military orders. The Halliday family, who have fought tirelessly for justice, now have even more questions as the horrifying truth continues to emerge.
