Background and Personal Life of Jared Bridegan
Jared Bridegan was born in Warrensburg, Missouri, in 1988. He grew up in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, and had a successful career in user experience design.

After a tumultuous divorce from his ex-wife, Shanna Gardner, Jared found happiness with his new wife, Kirsten, and they had two daughters together.
The Murder of Jared Bridegan
On February 16, 2022, Jared was driving his two-year-old daughter and his nine-year-old twins back to their mother's house after a date night. While driving, he encountered a spare tire in the road and stopped to move it. However, he was ambushed by a gunman who shot and killed him in front of his two-year-old daughter. The murder was planned and targeted, and investigators quickly began their search for the responsible party.
Arrests and Charges
After months of investigation, Henry Tennen, a 61-year-old man with prior criminal records, was arrested and charged with murder in connection to Jared's murder. He later pleaded guilty and agreed to testify against his co-conspirators in exchange for a lesser sentence. Subsequently, Mario Fernandez-Saldana, Shanna's former husband, was also arrested and charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy. Shanna herself was recently arrested and facing the same charges as Mario. The state is seeking the death penalty for both Mario and Shanna.
Investigation and Speculation
Throughout the investigation, there were speculations regarding the potential involvement of Shanna in Jared's murder. While she denied any involvement, evidence emerged, including allegations that she had asked someone to find a way to silence Jared and that she had an affair with her personal trainer. Suspicion grew as more connections were discovered between Mario, Henry, and Shanna. However, the full extent of Shanna's alleged involvement and any evidence against her is still ongoing, and the case continues to unfold.
Before his death, Jared Bridegan was regarded as a loving father, husband, and devoted member of the LDS church. He worked a career in User Experience Design and was most well-known for his role at Microsoft. Jared had two children from his first marriage to Shanna Gardner, and following their divorce, he met the true love of his life, Kirsten, and together they had another two children. But in February of 2022, everything changed when Jared was shot to death in an ambush-style attack just a few miles down the road from his ex-wife's house. Since then, three people have been arrested as part of the conspiracy to murder 33-year-old Jared Galen Bridegan.
