Fort Bliss soldiers accused of executing teenager

On Wednesday, according to NBC News,  Pvt. Tyler Shane Hall and Sgt. Eric Duvall were arrested and charged with the murder of 16 year-old Michael Tapia, whose body was found on Sunday. As of right now Hall and Duvall are both on a $1 million bond. Witnesses identified them and said that they showed up at Tapia's house and were seen with him. About an hour later, Hall and Duvall showed back up to the house, telling the family that they shot him and that Hall was the one that pulled the trigger. The family said that they would have come forward sooner but were too scared to do so because one of the other family members had been shot in the past by Duvall, but they did not press charges. So as of now Hall and Duvall are being held in El Paso waiting for their yet-to-be-determined court date.
