On Wednesday, prosecutors in Florida made public their intention to seek the death penalty for Mario Fernandez in connection with the murder of Jared Bridegan, a Microsoft employee who was killed in front of Bridegan’s kid more than a year after the crime.
When Fernandez appeared in front of Judge London Kite, a prosecutor from the office of Melissa Nelson, the state attorney for Florida’s Fourth Judicial District, explained the aggravating factors in court.
Bridegan, 33 years old, was fatally shot and slain in front of his daughter Bexley on February 16, 2022 in the north Florida region. Fernandez, age 35, was charged with first-degree murder in addition to other counts and was indicted.
