Tragedy Strikes Dog the Bounty Hunter as Stepson, 13, Shot Dead

URGENT UPDATE: In a devastating incident, Anthony Zecca, the 13-year-old stepgrandson of Dog the Bounty Hunter, was tragically shot and killed by his father, Gregory Zecca, in a reported “freak accident” on Saturday night. The shocking event unfolded in their apartment in Naples, Florida, as confirmed by the Collier County Sheriff’s Office.

At approximately 8:08 p.m., deputies responded to reports of a shooting, where they found Anthony deceased. According to authorities, this was an isolated incident with no arrests made as the investigation remains active. The family is mourning deeply, requesting privacy and prayers as they navigate this unimaginable loss.

In a heartfelt statement, Dog, whose real name is Duane Chapman, alongside his wife Francie Frane, expressed their sorrow: “We are grieving as a family over this incomprehensible tragic accident and would ask for continued prayers as we grieve the loss of our beloved grandson, Anthony.”

This tragedy comes less than two years after Dog married Francie in September 2021, following the death of his previous wife, Beth Chapman, who passed away from cancer. Both Dog and Francie have experienced profound loss, bonding over their shared pain after Francie lost her husband to cancer just six months before Beth’s passing.

Francie previously shared her experience in an interview, emphasizing their mutual support: “We understood the pain that the other one was feeling and [in] those tough days and moments, we helped each other stand up.” Their relationship, forged in adversity, has now been further tested by this heart-wrenching event.

Dog the Bounty Hunter is known for his role in the reality television landscape, bringing attention to law enforcement and bounty hunting. The family’s focus now, however, is on healing and supporting one another through this tragic time.

As the investigation continues, fans and followers are left reeling from this shocking news, sending out prayers and condolences across social media platforms. This heartbreaking incident serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the unexpected tragedies that can occur.

Stay tuned for further updates as the situation develops, and the family navigates this painful chapter.
