The 13-year-old grandson of Dog the Bounty Hunter’s wife Francie Chapman has been killed in an apparent accidental shooting at his Florida home.

Duane Chapman, known by his pseudonym Dog, is a reality television personality and a professional bounty hunter. According to initial reports from TMZ, his stepson Gregory Zecca allegedly, in an unforeseen tragic incident, accidentally discharged the gun, resulting in the death of his son, Anthony, inside their residence on Saturday.

The Collier County Sheriff’s Office has told Fox News Digital that although no arrests have been made, they are actively investigating a fatal shooting which occurred around 8 p.m. Saturday on Sumter Grove Way in Naples.

An incident report, with some information redacted, reveals that a deputy arrived on the scene just four minutes after a frantic 911 call was made. Despite the efforts of first responders who administered first aid, the child, due to critical blood loss, did not survive his injuries.

Deputies identified a gunshot wound on the victim’s “neck, just above his sternum,” according to the incident report. There was no visible exit wound.

Deputies recovered a handgun and an empty holster from the scene.

The investigation is ongoing.

Dog and Francie married in 2021. Dog’s former wife, Beth Chapman, died in June 2019 after a battle with throat cancer. Francie’s husband, Bob Frane, also died of cancer in December 2018.
