Duane “Dog” Chapman’s stepson, Gregory Zecca, allegedly shot and killed his 13-year-old son, Anthony, in what police are calling an accidental shooting.
The incident happened on Saturday, July 19, at an apartment in Naples, Florida, according to TMZ. Police responded around 8 p.m. and confirmed it was an “isolated incident.” No arrests have been made.
Dog, 72, and his wife Francie Chapman — Zecca’s mother — released a statement through a rep, saying, “We are grieving as a family over this tragic accident and ask for continued prayers as we mourn the loss of our beloved grandson, Anthony.”
Gregory Zecca is Francie Chapman’s son from a previous marriage. Francie and Duane “Dog” Chapman married in 2021 after bonding over the loss of their former spouses. Dog’s fifth wife, Beth Chapman, died in June 2019 at age 51.
