Gregory Zecca’s arrest has turned a once-dismissed “accidental” shooting into a chilling portrait of recklessness with a child’s life at stake. Investigators say he had been drinking, using marijuana, and repeatedly playing with a handgun near his 13-year-old son, Anthony, convinced it was safe. At some point, the magazine was back in, a single round fired, and everything changed forever.
Anthony’s death is now at the center of a criminal case that could send Zecca to prison for life. Beyond the headlines and the reality TV connection, a family is left with an empty chair, a child taken in seconds, and a father accused of causing it. Law enforcement calls it preventable. The charges say it was criminal. For those who loved Anthony, there is no version of this story that ends without a lifetime of grief.
