A terrible accident has left the Chapman family reeling after 13-year-old Anthony, step-grandson of Duane “Dog” Chapman, died from an accidental gunshot wound. The Friday night incident in Naples, Florida involved the boy’s father, Gregory Zecca, though authorities stress the shooting appears unintentional.
The famous bounty hunter’s family released an emotional statement through TMZ, describing their “deep sorrow” over the loss of their “cherished grandson.” While investigators continue examining the circumstances, no charges have been filed.
This heartbreaking event adds to the Chapman family’s history of painful losses. Both Duane and his wife Francie had previously lost spouses to cancer before finding solace in each other. Francie once told Entertainment Tonight how their mutual grief created a powerful bond between them. As the family requests privacy, supporters worldwide are sharing condolences for this latest tragedy to strike the reality TV star’s family.
