Jared Bridegan, a Senior design manager at Microsoft, tragically lost his life after being shot twice on February 16, 2022, in Jacksonville, Florida.
Formerly, Bridegan had worked as a senior UX designer at Canopy and director of UX at Web.com.
After a few years of working as a UX designer, Jared became the chief technology officer at Clean Simple Eats before finally working as Microsoft’s Senior Design Manager.
On February 16, 2022, Bridegan was shot dead after he dropped off his twins at his ex-wife Shanna Gardner’s house.
After dropping off the kids, he was driving back to his home when he noticed a tire left on a residential road; as he was trying to move it, Jared was shot and killed on the spot.
Bexley Bridegan, Jared’s daughter who saw everything unfold, described the turns of events as, “Boom boom boom, Daddy on the ground.”
The Jacksonville Beach Police Department started searching for an F-150 pickup for about a year as it was recorded escaping the crime scene.
Finally, on January 25, 2023, Henry Tennon was charged with conspiring with Jared’s murder along with charges of second-degree murder, accessory after the fact to a capital felony, and child abuse.
Reportedly, Henry rented and lived with Shanna’s then-husband, Mario Fernandez, around the time of the murder.
This revelation made Jared’s ex-wife Shanna and Mario the main suspects, leading to their arrest.

New Evidence Emerges In Microsoft Senior Designer’s Murder Case
As mentioned above, Jared’s ex-wife, Shanna Gardener Fernandez, Mario Fernandez, and gunman Henry Tenon were initially arrested for the murder.
However, on February 15, 2024, new evidence consisting of 800 pages shed light on two new suspects.
Allegedly, one of the suspects is a former reserve officer who owns a 10mm handgun, similar to the one used to kill Jared, that was never recovered.
When investigators asked the officer about the whereabouts of his gun, he said he didn’t have any idea, increasing the investigators’ suspicions.
The two suspects have not been charged yet, so their identities have not been disclosed.
