Shanna Gardner-Fernandez Wiki – Shanna Gardner-Fernandez Biography
The ex-wife of a Florida Microsoft executive who was shot in front of their 2-year-old daughter last year has been arrested in Washington and charged in connection with the crime, authorities said. A longtime suspect in the brutal murder of Jared Bridegan, a father of four, in Jacksonville Beach, Shanna Gardner-Fernandez was arrested after a grand jury returned a first-degree murder indictment Thursday morning.
Bridegan, 33, was killed last year after leaving two of his children he shared with Gardner-Fernandez at his home in the upscale suburb. The couple was in the middle of an increasingly bitter custody fight at the time. Bridegan, who has remarried and had two young children with his new wife, was riding home with his daughter Bexley when she ran into a tire in the middle of the road, stopping her truck. With his daughter watching from the back seat, Bridegan was shot and killed after getting out of his vehicle to move the tire.

Charges on Shanna Gardner-Fernandez
The traumatized boy, who narrowly avoided being hit by gunfire, remained alone at the scene for several excruciating minutes until a bystander stopped and called the police. Gardner-Fernandez’s new husband, Mario Saldana-Fernandez, was arrested in connection with the senseless March murder.
Police said he conspired with a tenant at one of his rental properties to orchestrate Bridegan’s murder. Convict Henry Tenon was arrested in January and agreed to cooperate with investigators after admitting that he pulled the trigger. Gardner-Fernández moved across the country to Washington shortly after her ex-husband’s murder and distanced himself from Fernández.
Coming from a wealthy Mormon family in Utah, Gardner-Ferndandez had her relatives use an LLC to buy a new home in West Richland. Suspicions about Gardner-Fernandez were raised after a tattoo parlor owner came forward and said he once asked about a way to “ditch” Bridegan. She admitted to making the ominous statement to a local newspaper, but she strongly denied any role in the crime.

Bridegan and Gardner-Fernandez divorced in 2015, but their court war raged for years until his murder. The heartbroken widow of the murdered father, Kirsten Bridegan, had openly suspected that Gardner-Fernandez had planned the murder of her. “This was orchestrated, this was planned, and this was specific to Jared,” she said after Tenon’s arrest.
Bexley, she said, continues to absorb the pain of her father’s death, sometimes recoiling from loud noises that remind her of fatal gunshots. “She heard the sounds of the shots that killed her father, and she was alone wondering what happened to him, and he doesn’t answer her for minutes, and minutes are forever for a child,” she said.Read More……..
