Dog the Bounty Hunter's step-grandson has died.
On Saturday (July 19), 13-year-old Anthony was fatally shot by his father in what the family have said to be a 'tragic accident'.
Anthony was the son of Gregory Zecca, whose mother Francie is married to Dog the Bounty Hunter — real name Duane Chapman.
Francie and Chapman wed in 2021 shortly after their respective spouses died. Chapman had been married five times before he tied the knot to Francie.

All of his children, except his first born son Christopher, were born to Chapman's ex wives.
According to PEOPLE, Christopher was born in 1972 to Debbie White, while Chapman was serving time behind bars after being charged with murder — a crime he says he did not commit.
White died by suicide in 1978 and Christopher went on to be adopted by Gloria and Keith Hecht.
