The shocking incident happened just a few days ago, when Anthony – the 13-year-old son of Gregory Zecca – was shot and killed in his own home. Initially, it was thought to be a tragic shooting accident. However, according to the latest update from the police, the incident was “not a normal accident at all”.

Gregory Zecca is the stepson of Duane “Dog” Chapman – a famous bounty hunter who once made waves on American television. The fact that the son of a character associated with the image of justice could commit such a crime has shocked the public.

According to a new report from the Collier County Sheriff’s Office, a series of new evidence has made investigators deeply suspicious of Gregory’s motive. The crime scene does not match Gregory’s initial statement. An investigator said: “The angle of the shot, the position of the body, and traces on the gun do not indicate that this was simply an accidental incident.”
A shocking detail is that a few weeks earlier, Gregory Zecca was said to have searched for information about life insurance policies for minors. Police insiders believe that Gregory may have purchased a high-value insurance policy for Anthony shortly before the incident.

Not only that, Gregory’s phone is being closely analyzed, including many suspicious text messages and notes showing psychological instability. Some of the messages show that Gregory is in debt, is under severe financial pressure, and has hinted that he “needs a large sum of money to start over”.
Duane “Dog” Chapman – Gregory’s famous stepfather – has not yet responded publicly, but the media believes that he is extremely shocked and refuses to contact the press. Many close to the Chapman family describe this as an “unbelievable nightmare”, because Duane once wholeheartedly supported Gregory despite not being related by blood.

Anthony – the unfortunate boy – was described by friends and teachers as a gentle, intelligent and polite child. His sudden death has left his loved ones in pain, especially his mother – who is currently receiving psychological support after the great shock.
The online community has set up many groups and pages to remember Anthony, and at the same time asked the police to quickly prosecute Gregory if there is enough evidence to show that this was a deliberate murder.
The Collier County Sheriff’s Office announced that it will hold a press conference in the near future to announce the official findings. Meanwhile, Gregory Zecca has been detained and is prohibited from contacting any family members until the investigation is complete.
The case is still being clarified, but it is clear that this is no longer a “normal accident” as initially stated. One question remains: What made the father attack his own flesh and blood?
