Dog the Bounty Hunter’s Stepgrandson, 13, Killed in Accident

Accidental Shooting Results in Tragedy for Pet bounty hunter’s Family

A member of the family of Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman was involved in a fatal accidental shooting over the weekend. Gregory Zecca, the stepson of Chapman’s wife, Francie Frane, unintentionally shot and killed his own son, Anthony Zecca, during an incident at their Naples, Florida, apartment.

The Collier County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the event, which they have described as an “isolated incident” with no further details disclosed. Family representatives expressed their grief, asking for prayers as they mourn the loss of Anthony.

Zecca, who is part of Chapman’s bounty hunting team, appears to have a keen interest in firearms. Photos shared on social media show him at a gun range and shopping for firearms with his son in 2021. The tragic event occurred at his residence in Naples.

Chapman, 72, married Frane in 2021 following the death of their previous spouses. Their bond was strengthened by shared grief and mutual understanding, with Frane describing how they supported each other through difficult times, particularly after the passing of their spouses.

Sources indicate that Zecca’s passion for firearms is well-known, and he was involved in shooting activities with his son prior to the incident. Family members are mourning the accidental death, emphasizing that it was deeply devastating and tragic.

Chapman’s personal history includes being married to four women and having 13 children from different relationships. The family’s unity through grief highlights a poignant side amid the tragic circumstances surrounding Anthony Zecca’s death.
