The heart-wrenching tragedy of a Microsoft executive’s cold-blooded execution has left a grieving widow pleading for the public’s help in solving the case, Your Content has learned.
Earlier this year, Jared Bridegan, a 33-year-old executive, was ambushed and fatally shot in a North Florida suburb while his two-year-old daughter watched in horror.
On February 16, Bridegan was driving through an affluent Florida neighborhood when he encountered a tire obstructing the road.
Stepping out of his vehicle to remove the obstacle, he was mercilessly gunned down in what appears to be a targeted attack.
Authorities have determined that the assailant fired from a close range of approximately four feet, indicating a deliberate act of violence.
Detective Sergeant David Young of the Jacksonville Beach Police expressed his belief that the killer possessed prior knowledge of Bridegan’s daily route, remarking, “It was specific. [Bridegan] used this route all the time. Whoever [killed him] knew the route.”
Despite ongoing investigations, no substantial leads have surfaced, leaving the family devastated and desperate for closure.
Kirsten Bridegan, the widow left to mourn her husband’s untimely death, expressed her frustration and enduring hope, stating, “I still have hope, but it’s frustrating that it’s been two months and whoever did this is still out there.”
To encourage potential witnesses to come forward, a reward of $30,000 is being offered for any information leading to the apprehension and conviction of the perpetrator.
As the investigation into this shocking crime continues, the family clings to the hope that justice will be served and their beloved Jared Bridegan will not become another unsolved statistic, according to FOX News.
