BOYNTON BEACH, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — Boynton Beach Police want to find the driver of a dark-colored sedan, likely a Tesla, after a 6-month-old puppy was found run over and killed in a parking lot at 1500 Southwest 8th Street. The call came in shortly after 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 3. The department’s animal cruelty officer found the small white dog dead in a parking space at the back of the lot.

The sedan, in the video below, pulls into the lot around 1:35 p.m. and parks. The driver gets out and walks around the back of the car to the passenger side. While the driver circles back and climbs into the driver’s seat, the puppy wanders from the passenger side to the front of the car, then back toward the passenger side.

At 1:38 p.m., the car drives off. The dog is left lying motionless on the pavement.
