This shocking event has rocked their family, and they are now navigating the difficult emotions that arise from this unexpected loss.
According to reliable sources who are closely connected to the family, Gregory Zecca, the son of Dog’s wife, Francie, tragically shot his 13-year-old son Anthony during what has been described as a freak accident at their apartment in Naples, Florida, on the evening of Saturday. The shocking incident has left the family in disbelief and sorrow, struggling to comprehend the events that transpired.
Law enforcement authorities confirmed to us that they promptly responded to a call reporting a shooting incident around 8 PM ET. At this moment, no arrests have been made as the authorities continue to classify this as an “isolated incident.” The investigation remains active, and officials are working diligently to gather all pertinent details surrounding the incident.
