(FOX NEWS) – A man was arrested in Florida Saturday after he shot and killed an 8-month-old puppy with a high-powered pellet rifle from a second-floor balcony, according to police.

The David Police Department said in a Facebook post that Johansen Concepcion De La Ros, 19, faces a charge of felony cruelty to animals.

The incident happened around 6:30 p.m., when the owners of the dog, named “Princess,” were walking the animal around the Centro Apartments, located about 25 miles north of Miami.

Police said Ros, while armed with the pellet rifle with the scope, “took a knee, lined up the cross hairs, and took a shot, killing the little dog.”
