Florida jury convicts ex-wife’s husband in Bridegan murder

A Florida jury convicted Mario Fernandez Saldana, the husband of Jared Bridegan’s ex-wife, of first‑degree murder and solicitation to commit a capital felony in the 2022 ambush killing of Microsoft executive Jared Bridegan in Jacksonville Beach. Prosecutors say the hit was arranged amid a bitter custody dispute with Bridegan’s ex-wife, Shanna Gardner-Fernandez, and her husband; the gunman, Henry Tenon, had previously pleaded guilty and faces trial next year. Saldana is due back in court Oct. 5 for sentencing, and Gardner-Fernandez will be tried separately.

A Florida jury convicted Mario Fernandez Saldana of first-degree murder and solicitation of murder in the 2022 killing of Microsoft design manager Jared Bridegan on a Jacksonville Beach road, in a plot tied to a bitter child-custody dispute with his ex-wife Shanna Gardner; a former tenant, Henry Tenon, carried out the shooting and was paid after the fact, with DNA on the tire rim linking him to the crime. Gardner's trial is set for September and Tenon faces trial next year.

Custody feud underpins Florida murder-for-hire trial in Bridegan case

Jurors in Florida heard the murder-for-hire case against Mario Fernandez Saldana, accused of helping plan and fund the killing of Microsoft executive Jared Bridegan, with Henry Tenon identified as the gunman. The trial centers on a bitter co-parenting dispute involving Bridegan’s ex-wife Shanna Gardner-Fernandez, and Kirsten Bridegan testified about a final, silent phone call after Bridegan dropped off the couple’s children. Prosecutors tie the alleged plot to years of custody battles, while Saldana’s defense argues the state cannot prove solicitation or intent. Separate trials for Gardner-Fernandez and Tenon are expected to follow.
