A devastating accident has taken the life of 13-year-old Anthony, step-grandson of television personality Duane “Dog” Chapman. The teen died Friday night in Naples, Florida after being accidentally shot by his father, Gregory Zecca, according to law enforcement sources.
While authorities confirm the shooting appears unintentional, the investigation remains ongoing. No arrests have been made, and officials haven’t disclosed specifics about the weapon involved. The Chapman family expressed their profound grief in a statement, asking for prayers as they mourn.
This tragedy comes after years of personal losses for the bounty hunter and his wife Francie, who both lost previous spouses to cancer before finding each other. The couple had often spoken about how their shared experience with grief helped them heal together. As news of the accident spreads, fans and supporters are offering an outpouring of sympathy for the grieving family.
