JACKSONVILLE, Fla.—The ex-wife of a Microsoft executive who was gunned down by a triggerman in front of his young daughter has been charged with first-degree murder, and prosecutors in Florida plan to seek the death penalty.
A grand jury indicted Shanna Lee Gardner in the ambush-style death of Jared Bridegan, State Attorney Melissa Nelson announced Thursday at a news conference in Jacksonville, Florida. Ms. Gardner, 36, was arrested in West Richland, Washington, and will be extradited to Florida to stand trial, Ms. Nelson said.
