The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday that Otis Anderson Jr. was killed late Monday during the fight with his father, Otis Anderson Sr., at his parents’ home.

Anderson’s father is facing charges of second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder. It wasn’t immediately known if the father had a lawyer who could comment for him.
