BBC News reported 15 minutes ago that Gregory Zecca – the stepson of famous bounty hunter Duane “Dog” Chapman – did not accidentally cause the death of his own son as initially reported. Instead, according to the latest investigative source from the Collier County Sheriff’s Office, the shooting is believed to have been intentional and motivated by anger.

Anthony – the victim was only 13 years old – was found dead in his home with a gunshot wound to the chest. In the early hours of the investigation, Gregory Zecca claimed that it was a shooting accident when he was cleaning his hunting rifle and accidentally pulled the trigger. However, after police collected evidence from the scene, witness statements and data from mobile phones, the truth gradually emerged: The shooting appeared to be premeditated.

An investigative source told the BBC that Gregory Zecca’s motive “may have been financial or life insurance related”. Police have not confirmed the details of the insurance policy, but investigators have ordered Gregory’s assets and bank accounts to be frozen pending further investigation.

Duane “Dog” Chapman – a TV personality known for his crime-hunting exploits – has yet to make an official statement, but sources close to him say he is “devastated” by the news. A longtime friend of Dog’s said: “He can’t believe it. A grandchild he loved so much is gone, and the person who did it is his own son.”

The online community and fans of the show “Dog the Bounty Hunter” are extremely angry and heartbroken. Thousands of comments have been posted on social media platforms, with many calling for the police to charge Gregory as soon as possible if there is evidence of a motive for the murder.

Gregory Zecca has been detained for further questioning, and the police said they will hold an official press conference in the next 24 hours to release more details of the case. Meanwhile, Anthony’s body is undergoing a second forensic examination at the request of Chapman’s family.

A Florida legal expert commented: “If it is proven that Zecca acted intentionally for personal gain, he could face a first-degree murder charge – the maximum sentence could be life in prison or the death penalty, depending on the jury’s verdict.”

This heartbreaking story not only raises big questions about personal ethics but also serves as a wake-up call for issues related to guns in the family – which should be the safest place for children.

Police are now appealing for anyone with information about Gregory Zecca in the days leading up to the incident to come forward to assist with their investigation.
