Dog the Bounty Hunter Stepson Arrested in Son's Shooting

Gregory Anthony Zecca, the 39-year-old stepson of reality television star Duane "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Chapman, was arrested Tuesday in Naples, Florida, on charges stemming from the fatal shooting of his 13-year-old son, Anthony, last July.

The Collier County Sheriff's Office announced the arrest after a months-long investigation into the incident at a friend's apartment, where Zecca and Anthony had been watching a televised UFC match. Authorities determined that Zecca, who was impaired by alcohol and marijuana at the time, repeatedly handled a firearm in his son's presence. He practiced drawing the weapon from his waistband and dry-firing it, according to the sheriff's office. The gun had initially been rendered safe by removing the magazine and clearing a live round from the chamber, but it was later reloaded. Zecca then discharged a single shot, striking Anthony in the chest. The boy was pronounced dead at the scene despite efforts by first responders.

A toxicology report estimated Zecca's blood-alcohol concentration at 0.116, exceeding Florida's legal limit of 0.08. Deputies who arrived noted a strong odor of alcohol on Zecca and observed marijuana in plain view....
