  • Gregory Zecca, stepson of Duane "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Chapman, reportedly shot and killed his 13-year-old son, Anthony, in what is being described as a "freak accident".
  • Zecca has been placed on a psychiatric hold, which family representatives state is for his protection due to grief and not an admission of guilt.
  • The shooting occurred at Zecca's apartment in Naples, Florida, on Saturday evening, with Anthony pronounced dead shortly after deputies arrived.
  • No charges have been brought against anyone involved in the incident, and the Collier County Sheriff's Office has stated the investigation is ongoing.
  • The firearm involved was on the family's kitchen island, and Zecca is known as a gun enthusiast who took his son to gun ranges.
