Ambush Murder in Jacksonville | Raleigh News

A chilling murder case unfolds as prosecutors paint a picture of a premeditated ambush: Microsoft designer Jared Bridegan, with his toddler in the car, was killed while moving a tire blocking the road — an act they say was no accident. The accused, Mario Fernandez Saldana, allegedly orchestrated the hit amid a bitter post-divorce feud between Bridegan and his ex-wife Shanna Gardner, who clashed over religion and child-rearing. Evidence links Fernandez to a tire found at his property — DNA on it points to Henry Tenon, a paid accomplice who later backed out. While the defense argues Fernandez had no motive and could’ve fled, prosecutors claim he’s guilty — and that Gardner got exactly what she wanted: custody and escape from Jacksonville.
