So

I'm

A

Good
morning,
thank

today.
My
name
is
Jean
Paul
Smith
and
I'm.
The
chief
of
police,
Jacksonville,
Beach,
Police,
Department
I'm

by
several
of
men
and
women
from
our
agency,
State
Attorney
Melissa
Nelson
members
of
the
Bride
again
family,
who
have
waited
for
this
day.
For
almost
a
year
on
February
16,
2022,
Jared
Pride,
again
was
driving
home
from
a
planned
date
night
with
his
children
on
Wednesday
nights.
Jared
would
take
his
nine-year-old
twins
to
dinner
with
their
two-year-old
half-sister.
B
C
B
B
B
B
C
B
A
planned
and
targeted,
ambushed
and
murdered
the
ruthless
homicide
has
pained
our
community
and,
of
course,
Kirsten
and
Adam,
who
are

with
their
brother
Justin
and
the
rest
of
Jairus,
family
and
friends
who
mourn
his
death
for
almost
a
year.
We
have
investigated
this
case
seeking
the
many
questions,
surrounded,
Jared's,
murder
and,
most
importantly,
to
answer
the
question
who
killed
Jared
just
under
an
hour
ago,
this
man.
B
A
C
C
To
share
limited
information
about
the
state's
evidence
against
Henry
Tennant.
In
order
to
protect
the
Integrity
of
this
ongoing
and
active
investigation,
the
state
has
obtained
a
court
order,
sealing
tenants,
arrest,
warrant
and
affidavit
for
the
next
30
days.
However,
I
will
briefly
discuss
the
four
crimes
for
which
tenant
has
been
arrested.
C
Conspiracy
to
commit
murder,
we
know
Henry
Tennant
did
not
act
alone,
conspiracy
to
commit
murder
as
a
first
degree
felony
punishable
by
up
to
30
years
in
prison
accessory
after
the
fact
to
a
capital.
Felony.
This
charge
is
based
on
Henry
tenant's
actions
in
the
days
after
Jared's
murder.
This
crime
is
also
a
first
degree
felony
punishable
by
up
to
30
years
in
prison.
C
C
This
crime
is
a
first
degree
felony
punishable
by
up
to
life
in
prison
in
due
to
Henry.
Tenants,
participation
in
the
murder
of
Jared
right
again
will
have
his
first
appearance
in
court.
Tomorrow
morning
thereafter,
we
will
present
his
case
to
a
grand
jury
in
order
to
seek
an
indictment
for
first-degree
murder.
This,
of
course,
will
carry
a
punishment
of
mandatory
life
in
prison.
B
Thank
you,
State
Attorney
Nelson.
The
last
thing
I
will
ask,
is
for
this
community
to
continue
its
vigilance
as
we
move
forward
with
this
case.
If
you
have
any
information
about
this
man,
Henry
Tennant
as
it
relates
to
this
crime,

the
Jacksonville,
Beach,
Police,

a
good
day.
