Sick teen arrested for shooting and killing 8-month-old pup with a "high-powered pellet rifle"
The brutal act, in which an eight-month-old Chihuahua pup was shot and killed by a teenager, has shocked residents in Davie, Florida. A family, who had just moved into the neighborhood a day before was walking their eight-year-old daughter's dog, Princess when they suddenly heard a popping sound. The puppy was shot at by a pellet rifle.
The family, who heard the pop, was unaware of what had happened and only noticed after the pup howled with pain. They saw her bleeding from her mouth, but before they could call emergency services for aid, the pup had died.
The entire incident had unfolded in the span of a mere five minutes. Roshelle Pearson, who had got the pup for her daughter, would have never figured it out how their six-pound dog had been murdered if it were not for the actions of an off-duty Pembroke Pines Police Department officer who happened to be driving in the area and witnessed the incident.
