Former University of Central Florida running back Otis Anderson Jr. was fatally shot by his father during a dispute about a dog bite, authorities said.
Anderson, 23, who played at UCF from 2017 to 2020, died late Monday in Jacksonville after his father, Otis Anderson Sr., was bitten by a dog belonging to his son’s girlfriend, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said Anderson Jr.’s mother, Denise, told investigators her husband got upset after being bitten, setting off a confrontation between the three that escalated to gunfire.
Responding cops found Anderson Jr. with at least one gunshot wound to the chest and Denise with multiple graze wounds. Both were rushed to a hospital, but Anderson Jr. did not survive. His mother was treated and released, the Sentinel reported.
