Anthony Zecca was 13 when he was shot and killed inside an apartment in Naples, Florida, on the evening of July 19, 2025. Deputies with the Collier County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched at 8:08 p.m. to an incident on Sumter Grove Way. First responders performed CPR and other life-saving measures, but the teenager could not be revived. Police later noted an entry wound on his neck, just above the sternum, with no exit wound.

Multiple reports say the shot was fired by his father, Gregory Zecca, and both authorities and family described the event as a tragic accident. Law enforcement said the incident was contained to the apartment and no one else was believed to be involved. As of July 21, 2025, the Sheriff’s Office said no arrests had been made and the investigation remained ongoing, with witness interviews, forensic testing, subpoenas and search warrants under way. Family members publicly asked for prayers while mourning.
