Florida police investigating the murder of a Microsoft executive last year have arrested his ex-wife’s new husband in connection with his death.
Jared Bridegan was gunned down in the middle of the road last February in front of his baby daughter.
Today, police announced the arrest of Mario Fernandez Saldana, the new husband of Bridegan’s ex-wife, Shanna.
Saldana was arrested this morning in Orlando after hitman, Henry Tenon, turned on him and agreed to testify against him.
Tenon, who was living in a property that was owned by Saldana, was arrested in January.

Prosecutors have not yet confirmed the motive for the murder, but Shanna and Jared were sharing custody of their two children at the time.
Henry Tenon, 61, confessed to working with Saldana – his old landlord – to carry out the murder
They announced the arrest at a press conference where Jared’s widow Kirsten took to the podium.
‘We are here today feeling many emotions.
‘We have great relief knowing that two of the people behind my husband’s murder are now behind bars and are no longer a threat to my family.
‘We are also still angry. Angry that they were walking free while we were grappling with the reality that Jared wouldn’t be here for any future memories, vacations, tender moments.
‘Angry that our youngest, who was six months at the time of his death, will have no memories of her father.
‘Angry that there will be no new memories for Liam, Abi, Bexley, London, or anyone who knew and loved Jared.’
She also hinted at more arrests.
The Microsoft executive was found 2.2miles from Shanna’s home after dropping off the kids on February 16. It was on a quiet patch of road, where there were no security cameras
‘We know there is still a long way to go before all those involved will truly be held accountable.’
Shanna, the ex-wife, has not been arrested.
‘We have fought hard for the truth and the world now knows what we have known all along; that Jared truly was an innocent victim.
‘Since day one, those in charge of the investigation promised us that they would be relentless in their pursuit of justice and they have been,’ she added.
Police have not yet indicated whether they intend to make any additional arrests.
