Mario Fernandez, the second husband of Shanna Gardner-Fernandez, the ex-wife of Jared Bridegan, appeared in a Florida court on charges of second-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, solicitation to commit a capital felony, and child abuse.

Fernandez was arrested earlier in March in Orlando for the fatal shooting of Jared Bridegan on February 16, 2022, in front of his then-two-year-old daughter. Gardner-Fernandez, who remains a suspect in the case, was Bridegan’s ex-wife and the mother of his ten-year-old twins.

The accused killer was briefly present in the Duval County Courthouse wearing an orange jail-issued jumpsuit after he was extradited to Jacksonville. Gardner-Fernandez’s parents, Shelli and Sterling Gardner, own a multimillion-dollar multi-level marketing company based in Utah.

The company, Stampin’ Up!, issued a statement to its “leaders” who sell their paper-craft products, stating that they were aware of Fernandez’s arrest and that “Shanna (Shelli and Sterling’s daughter) and Mario have been separated for an extended period of time.”

Bridegan’s widow, Kirsten Bridegan, criticized Stampin’ Up!’s statement in an Instagram story on her “Justice4JaredB” account. She claimed that the statement did not mention her husband’s name, did not offer condolences, and minimized the charges against Fernandez.

Kirsten also expressed outrage at photos featuring Gardner-Fernandez and Fernandez that remained on Shelli Gardner’s blog, “So Shelli,” which is used to promote Stampin’ Up!’s products. She criticized the blog for featuring photos of Gardner-Fernandez and Fernandez beaming together at a memorial for Jared, who was murdered just weeks earlier.

The murder of Jared Bridegan was a tragic event that occurred on February 16, 2022, in an affluent suburb of Jacksonville Beach. Bridegan, a software developer for Microsoft, was shot to death after he stepped out of his car to move a tire from the road.

Fernandez, his ex-wife’s second husband, was arrested earlier in March and charged with second-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, solicitation to commit a capital felony, and child abuse. The accused killer appeared in a Florida court wearing an orange jumpsuit after he was extradited to Jacksonville. Gardner-Fernandez, the ex-wife of Jared Bridegan and the mother of his ten-year-old twins, remains a suspect in the case.

Stampin’ Up!, the multi-level marketing company owned by Gardner-Fernandez’s parents, issued a statement that distanced themselves from Fernandez and claimed that he and Gardner-Fernandez had been separated for an extended period of time.

However, Bridegan’s widow, Kirsten Bridegan, criticized the statement for not mentioning Jared’s name and minimizing the charges against Fernandez.
