Convicted felon Henry Tenon is arrested for murder of Microsoft executive Jared ... trends now
Police have arrested a 61-year-old convicted felon in relation to the murder of Microsoft executive Jared Bridegan, who was shot dead as he picked up a tire from the middle of the road in front of his daughter last year.
Henry Tenon is in custody on charges of second degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder for Bridegan's killing on February 16.
His arrest warrant is sealed so many of the details surrounding the case remain unclear. Police however said at a press conference on Wednesday that he did not act alone, and that they continue to investigate.
According to sheriff's records, Tenon was arrested in August on unrelated gun charges. He will go before a judge tomorrow on murder charges.
'We know Henry Tenon did not act alone,' said State's Attorney Melissa Nelson at a press conference today.
Bridegan was killed on February 16, 2022, while driving from Jacksonville Beach, Florida, to St. Augustine, after dropping off his nine-year-old twins with their mother. His two-year-old daughter, Bexley, was in the car at the time.

Tenon is facing life in prison on charges of second degree murder. Prosecutors today announced the case would go to a grand jury, and that they hope it will be elevated to a first degree murder charge.
In addition to conspiracy to commit murder and second degree murder, Tenon has been charged with child abuse. It stems to the fact Bridegan's two-year-old daughter was in the vehicle when he was killed.
Tenon was arrested last August by the same police department on charges of owning a weapon despite being a convicted felon, and driving without a license.
His previous offenses include felony traffic violations like driving with a suspended license multiple times, along with misdemeanor assault and domestic violence charges.
His long arrest record dates back to the mid 1990s.
Jared was ambushed by his killer, who'd placed a tire in the middle of the road to ensure he would stop, get out of the car and walk towards it.
