Dog the Bounty Hunter's stepgrandson, 13, shot and killed by father in ‘incomprehensible' accident: report
Dog the Bounty Hunter is going though an unimaginable tragedy after his stepgrandson, Anthony Zecca, was accidentally shot and killed by his father, Gregory Zecca. Gregory — who's the son of Dog's wife, Francie Frane — accidentally shot his 13-year-old son in a 'freak accident' on Saturday night, TMZ reported Sunday. The incident occurred in their apartment in Naples, Florida, per the outlet. The Collier County Sheriff's Office tells Page Six that deputies responded to a report of a shooting at 8:08 p.m. in Naples. One person was deceased. According to police, it was an isolated incident. No arrests have been made and it's an active investigation. Dog — whose real name is Duane Chapman — and Francie confirmed the tragic loss in a statement. 'We are grieving as a family over this incomprehensible tragic accident and would ask for continued prayers as we grieve the loss of our beloved grandson, Anthony,' they said in a statement to TMZ. Dog's rep didn't immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment. Dog is the father to 13 children from six different relationships. He married Francie — a rancher from Colorado — in September 2021. Their wedding took place 10 months after his wife, Beth Chapman, died following a battle with throat cancer. Dog and Francie were also brought together through tragedy after she also lost her spouse to cancer. Francie lost her husband, Bob, an excavator, to the disease just six months before Beth died. 'We understood the pain that the other one was feeling and [in] those tough days and moments, we helped each other stand up,' Francie said in a September 2020 interview with Entertainment Tonight. 'We could cry with each other and talk about what we were feeling.' 'We were able to walk alongside each other through the pain and heartbreak and it brought us together in this amazing way,' she added. Dog briefly spoke about Francie's children in a September 2020 appearance on 'The Dr. Oz Show.' 'I know she's a hunter. Her and her two sons have hunted bow hunt, so they track, they look for things that the prey leaves behind,' he said. 'She just fit right in,' he added about his first bounty hunt with Francie. 'She started getting leads and writing them down, so there's more than just tracking and hunting.'

Erik Menendez hospitalized with 'serious' condition ahead of parole hearing: Reports
Erik Menendez, who along with his brother was recently resentenced in the gruesome 1989 shotgun murders of his parents, has been taken to a hospital and diagnosed with a medical condition, according to news reports. Menendez, 54, was diagnosed with a "serious medical condition," his attorney Mark Geragos told NBC News and TMZ. ABC News also confirmed that Menendez was in the hospital with his family. Geragos called for his client's release via a medical furlough in an interview with TMZ. The news comes weeks before Erik and Lyle Menendez, 57, are scheduled for a parole hearing on Aug. 21 after they were each resentenced earlier this year to 50 years to life, opening up the possibility of parole and a path to freedom. The two have most recently been incarcerated at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego, California, according to prison records. The brothers were convicted of the murders of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez. They were convicted in 1996 after unsuccessfully arguing that they acted in self-defense after suffering through years of physical and sexual abuse. USA TODAY has reached out to the Menendez brothers' attorney and the California Department of Corrections for comment. What happened in the 1989 murder? The brothers were convicted in 1996 of the slaying of their parents, who were shot to death in their Beverly Hills home on the evening of Aug. 29, 1989. Their conviction came during a retrial, after a first murder trial ended with an undecided jury. To secure a conviction the second time, substantial evidence of the abuse the brothers said they suffered at the hands of their parents was excluded, their attorneys have argued. In the first trial, the brothers testified that their father subjected them to horrific physical and sexual abuse while their mother emotionally battered them. Their attorneys argued that the men – Lyle was 21 and Erik was 18 at the time of the murders – killed their parents out of self-defense, because they believed, perhaps irrationally, that their parents were going to kill them to stop them from exposing the abuse. Prosecutors claimed the brothers were lying about the abuse and were motivated to kill their parents by the $15 million fortune they hoped to obtain, and pointed to a lavish spending spree the pair went on after the murders. The case received a wave of public support after the release of a Netflix documentary titled "The Menendez Brothers" and a dramatized portrayal of their story last year. Members of their family have also publicly supported the brothers' release and said they have forgiven them. The brothers' long fight for their freedom The resentencing in May was decades in the making, and just one of the several paths toward freedom pursued by the brothers, who were originally serving prison terms of life without the possibility of parole. The effort for their release included a series of setbacks when the Los Angeles district attorney who supported their resentencing, George Gascón, lost his reelection bid to a DA who vehemently opposed it, Nathan Hochman. Multiple court delays culminated in a judge issuing them the new sentence of 50 years to life. They had also pursued a clemency application. Parole suitability hearings are scheduled for Aug. 21 and 22 for the brothers, according to prison records.

'Predator: Badlands' makes the monstrous hunter a hero. Here's what to know about the sequel.
"Predator: Badlands," the next live-action movie in the "Predator" franchise, pushes the story into the future. The franchise mainly follows a race of creatures called the Yautja, who travel the universe to brutally hunt different species using advanced technology. It started with 1987's "Predator," which spawned five sequels. The most recent live-action "Predator" movie, " Prey," from the director Dan Trachtenberg, was released on Hulu in 2022. It is set in the 1800s and follows a Native American woman named Naru (Amber Midthunder) who protects her people from the titular hunter. It was met with huge praise from critics and earned a 94% score on Rotten Tomatoes. He also directed the animated movie, "Predator: Killer of Killers," which earned a 95% score. Trachtenberg has returned for "Predator: Badlands," which follows an entirely new set of characters on a different planet. It's out in theaters on November 7, 2025. Most "Predator" film take place on Earth, but the new movie is set on a remote world somewhere else in the galaxy. The first trailer spotlights a young Yautja named Dek, played by the stuntman Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi. The synopsis teases that Dek is an outcast from his clan who "embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary," although it's not clear who or what that opponent is. Regardless, Dek is the protagonist of "Predator: Badlands" rather than the villain, which is a first for the series. In November, Trachtenberg told Empire Magazine, "He's still badass, but there's something there that touches you emotionally, too. "Creating a character you connect with, but are also super-intimidated by, has been challenging. But exciting." Elle Fanning plays a Weyland-Yutani android opposite the Predator. Elle Fanning is the only major star in "Predator: Badlands." She plays Thia, an android who appears to be made by Weyland-Yutani, because the company's "W" logo appears when her eyes roll backward in the trailer. Fans of "Alien" will know that Weyland-Yutani is the nefarious company from that franchise, which confirms that the Predators exist in the same universe as the Xenomorphs. Whether they end up brawling remains to be seen. Trachtenberg already has an idea for another sequel if "Predator: Badlands" performs as well as "Prey" and "Predator: Killer of Killers." He told SFX Magazine in June that he's excited about the idea for his third film. "After 'Prey' came out, and I started thinking about sequel stuff, there were three ideas that I had. 'Killers' is one, 'Badlands' is two and the third one is something else," he said. "There's a lot of cool ideas out there and none of them are just like, 'Oh, we have to say the next part of this story because it was successful.' All of it is like, 'Whoa, no one has done that in sci-fi. No one has done that in 'Predator.' No one's done that with the creature,' all of those ideas are generated from that instinct. So, yeah, there is definitely a third thing that I'd love to get to when Badlands is finished."
