Ex–UCF running back Otis Anderson Jr. was shot and killed by his father during a heated dispute over a dog bite.
The 23-year-old was killed late Monday night in Jacksonville after his father, Otis Anderson Sr., was bitten by a dog that belonged to his girlfriend.
Anderson’s mother, Denise, told investigators her husband was upset after being bitten, and a heated confrontation between the three escalated to gunfire.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said responding officers found Anderson Jr. with at least one gunshot wound to the chest and Denise with multiple graze wounds.
Both were rushed to a nearby hospital, but Anderson did not survive. His mother was treated and released.
52-year-old Anderson Sr. is now facing charges of murder and attempted murder and will remain held without bond until his next court date on Dec. 22.
