A man with ties to Utah was gunned down in Jacksonville Beach, Florida on February 16, but his murder remains unsolved, so his family is asking for any information that may identify his killer.

Police say Jared Bridegan, 33, had just dropped off his twins at his ex-wife's home when he was shot four times after stopping to remove a tire blocking the road. His two-year old daughter was sitting in the car.

"His children are now fatherless, and we are asking for help to track down these killers. Because he knows so many people in Utah, I really feel like someone might hear something there,” said Jared’s wife, Kirsten Bridegan. Jared’s older brother, Adam, says he moved to Utah when he married his first wife. He spent several years there raising two children, attending Utah Valley University, and working for several startup companies.

He tells Fox 13 News that he finds it most disturbing that his brother was targeted because he says Jared was the ultimate dad and a fun-loving guy.“Our entire family lives in fear because we don't know the extent of what that targeting means,” explained Adam.
