第二个人已经被逮捕并被指控杰瑞德·布里德根谋杀案，前微软这位高管去年在杰克逊维尔海滩街上被枪杀，当局称这是一次有针对性的伏击。
当局在新闻发布会上宣布，Bridegan前妻的丈夫Mario Fernandez Saldana于周四在佛罗里达州中部被捕，没有发生任何事件。此后，他被大陪审团指控多项罪名，包括一级谋杀罪，这是一项死罪。
州检察官梅利莎·尼尔森拒绝透露费尔南德斯·萨尔达娜涉嫌参与背后的动机，称由于正在进行的调查，她可以分享的内容有限。她确实证实了他是亨利·特农的前房东，此人因涉嫌扣动扳机于一月份被捕。
在特农被捕的时候，尼尔森说他们知道他“不是单独行动的”
纳尔逊说，这种关系是把特农和布瑞根联系在一起的“唯一纽带”。
费尔南德斯·萨尔达娜还被指控犯有一级谋杀罪，教唆犯有死罪和虐待儿童罪。他将被引渡到杜瓦尔县。
根据周四公布的逮捕令，费尔南德斯·萨尔达娜给特农开了三张支票。搜查令经过了大量修改，没有具体说明这些支票的价值或用途。当局在去年秋天审查Tenon的财务记录时发现了它们。
根据逮捕令，电话记录还显示，Tenon和Fernandez Saldana在2022年2月，即Bridegan被杀的那个月，有35次“电话联系”，在2022年3月至6月期间还有几十次。
尼尔森说，特农周四承认持有致命武器的二级谋杀罪，并同意“如实作证，指控那些与他一起谋杀贾里德·布里德根的人”。
当局承诺继续调查这起谋杀案，但没有说是否还有其他嫌疑人。
2022年2月16日，33岁的Bridegan是四个孩子的父亲，他正带着当时2岁的女儿在杰克逊维尔海滩开车，突然发现一个轮胎“故意”挡住了他的路，杰克逊维尔海滩警察局长吉恩·保罗·史密斯。史密斯说，当他走出汽车时，他“被残忍地枪杀了”。
史密斯说，Bridegan在送走与前妻共有的一对双胞胎后开车回家，突然发现轮胎并被击中。
Bridegan和他的妻子Kirsten Bridegan有两个孩子，当时2岁，还有一个小女儿，枪击发生时她和妻子在家。
克里斯汀·布里德根在周四的新闻发布会上说:“得知谋杀我丈夫的两个人已经入狱，不再对我们的家庭构成威胁，我们松了一口气。”。“我们也仍然很愤怒——愤怒的是，在我们努力应对贾里德不会在这里留下任何未来记忆、假期或与我们的孩子共度温柔时光的现实时，他们却逍遥法外。”
Husband of ex-wife arrested in murder of former Microsoft executive in Florida, father of 4
A second person has been arrested and charged in themurder of Jared Bridegan, a formerMicrosoftexecutive who was shot and killed in the middle of a Jacksonville Beach street last year in what authorities described as a targeted ambush.
Mario Fernandez Saldana, the husband of Bridegan's ex-wife, was arrested Thursday in central Florida without incident, authorities announced at a press conference. He has since been indicted by a grand jury on multiple charges, including first-degree murder, a capital felony.
State Attorney Melissa Nelson declined to reveal the motive behind Fernandez Saldana's alleged involvement, saying she was limited in what she could share due to the ongoing investigation. She did confirm that he was the former landlord of Henry Tenon, the man arrested in January for allegedly pulling the trigger.
At the time of Tenon's arrest, Nelson said they knew that he "did not act alone."
Nelson said that relationship was the "single link" tying Tenon to Bridegan.
Fernandez Saldana was also charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, solicitation to commit a capital felony and child abuse. He will be extradited to Duval County.
According to an arrest warrant made public Thursday, Fernandez Saldana wrote three checks to Tenon. The warrant, which was heavily redacted, did not specify how much the checks were worth or what they were for. Authorities discovered them when reviewing Tenon’s financial records last fall.
Phone records also showed that Tenon and Fernandez Saldana had 35 "phone contacts" in February 2022, the month Bridegan was killed, and dozens more between March and June of 2022, according to the warrant.
Tenon pleaded guilty to second-degree murder with a deadly weapon on Thursday and has agreed to "testify truthfully against those he worked with to murder Jared Bridegan," Nelson said.
Authorities pledged to continue investigating the murder but did not say if there are additional suspects.
Bridegan, 33, a father of four, was driving with his then-2-year-old daughter in Jacksonville Beach on Feb. 16, 2022, when he came upon a tire "purposefully" blocking his path, Jacksonville Beach Police Chief Gene Paul Smith. When he stepped out of the car he was "gunned down in cold blood," Smith said.
Bridegan was driving home after dropping off twins he shares with his ex-wife when he came upon the tire and was shot, Smith said.
Bridegan also had two children with his wife, Kirsten Bridegan -- the then-2-year-old and a younger daughter who was home with his wife at the time of the shooting.
"We have great relief knowing that two of the people behind my husband's murder are behind bars and are no longer a threat to our family," Kirsten Bridegan said during Thursday's press briefing. "We are also still angry -- angry that they were walking free while we were grappling with the reality that Jared wouldn't be here for any future memories, vacations or tender moments with our kids."
