A father is gunned down after pulling over to move a tire. Jared Bridegan had just dropped off his twin children at his ex-wife Shanna Gardner's home when he stopped on a quiet Jacksonville Beach road. His two-year-old daughter was still in the back seat when someone opened fire, killing Jared in what looked like a senseless act of violence. But police quickly realized this was no random attack. 

As detectives began to unravel the case, they found themselves drawn into a tangled web of custody disputes, strained relationships, and carefully concealed resentment. What began as a search for a masked gunman soon led investigators to Jared’s past—and raised serious questions about who might have wanted him gone, and why. 

Now, with multiple arrests made and a high-stakes trial on the horizon, prosecutors say this was a calculated plot to eliminate a devoted father. But with the case still unfolding, the full truth has yet to be tested in court.
