UFC football star Otis Anderson Jr. was killed last night, and now his father has been arrested and charged with murder for shooting his son during a domestic altercation involving a dog bite.
According to First Coast News, officers from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office responded to a call regarding a shooting when they arrived at the Johnson Lake Court residence and found a man and woman at the scene suffering from gunshot wounds.
Although both victims were quickly transported to the local hospital to receive medical treatment, the man – whose identity has since been confirmed as 23-year-old Otis Anderson Jr. – was pronounced dead.
The altercation reportedly started after Otis Anderson Jr.’s father was bit by his girlfriend’s dog and started bleeding throughout the house, which led Anderson Jr. to go downstairs and see what happened, according to what Denise Anderson – Anderson Jr.’s mother – told the responding officers.
