Mario Fernandez Saldana was initially charged with first-degree murder, solicitation to commit a capital felony, conspiracy to commit murder and child abuse in the death of Jared Bridegan. The conspiracy to commit murder and child abuse charges have since been dropped as has the possibility of the death penalty. Bridegan, was an executive for Microsoft at the time of his death. He was found shot to death on a quiet road in Jacksonville Beach, Florida on February 16, 2022. Bridegan was killed after dropping off his twins at the home of his ex-wife Shanna Gardner and her husband Mario Fernandez Saldana. Bridegan was in his vehicle with his 2-year-old daughter from his current marriage and driving home when he came across a damaged tire in the middle of the road. Surveillance video showed Bridegan stopped his car, turned on his hazard lights and opened his door to move the tire and was then shot. The surveillance video showed the tire had not been in the roadway prior to the shooting, and investigators believed it was placed specifically in the road to force Bridegan out of his vehicle. Nothing was stolen from the scene. Bridgegan's watch, wedding ring, phone, wallet and money were all intact and left at the scene. Police identified the gunman as Henry Tenon, who originally pleaded guilty to second-degree murder charges and agreed to testify for the prosecution against Mario Fernandez Saldana. However, Tenon has since changed his plea to not guilty. Fernandez Saldana is accused of conspiring with Gardner to hire Tenon to permanently dispose of Bridegan due to a long and bitter divorce and custody dispute.
