Stepson of Dog The Bounty Hunter Arrested for Manslaughter
Gregory Zecca faces aggravated manslaughter charges after fatally shooting his 13-year-old son while impaired by alcohol and marijuana, with a blood-alcohol level nearly twice Florida's legal limit.
- On Tuesday, Feb. 3, 2026, Gregory Anthony Zecca, 39, was arrested on a Collier County Sheriff's Office warrant charging him with aggravated manslaughter of a child with a firearm and using a firearm while under the influence.
- On July 19, 2025, Anthony Zecca, 13, was fatally shot at a friend's apartment in Naples, Florida, after the firearm’s magazine was reinserted and a live round chambered.
- Toxicology and police findings show Gregory Zecca drank alcohol for hours, used alcohol and marijuana at a friend's home, and repeatedly practiced drawing and dry-firing a firearm in his son's presence with blood-alcohol concentration 0.116.
- Zecca was placed on a psychiatric hold after the shooting, and a family representative said he was `stricken by grief` not guilt, while Sheriff Kevin Rambosk called it `heartbreaking and preventable`.
- The charge carries a potential life sentence, and the arrest comes more than half-a-year after the July 19, 2025 death, drawing attention because it involves Duane `Dog the Bounty Hunter` Chapman and his family.
