<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A billboard demanding the arrest of the officers who killed Breonna Taylor at her Louisville home has been vandalized with red paint, according to the <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/news/512518-louisville-breonna-taylor-billboard-erected-by-oprah-magazine-vandalized-with">Courier Journal.</a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The billboard was one of <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/tsr-positive-images-oprah-reportedly-purchased-billboards-demanding-justice-for-breonna-taylor-in-kentucky/">26 purchased by O, The Oprah Magazine,</a> earlier this month. The billboards feature Breonna’s face with the words, “Demand that the police involved in killing Breonna Taylor be arrested and charged.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The red paint on the vandalized billboard was smeared across Breonna’s forehead, making it appear as if it was a gunshot wound.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It wasn’t immediately clear who did this to the billboard or if local police were investigating the crime.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The billboards, which point people to the social justice organization Until Freedom, went up the same week the magazine released an issue featuring Breonna on the cover, the first cover not focused on founder Oprah Winfrey.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Activist Tamika Mallory, who has organized and participated in a number of protests demanding justice for Breonna, shared the vandalized billboard on her page Tuesday asking the public to stand with them as they continue to fight in Louisville.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We must confront the mindset in this picture,” Tamika wrote. “It’s flowing from the top to the bottom. We are stronger together! #OccupyKentucky #BreonnaTaylor.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s been more than 5 months since Breonna’s death and the officers who shot her remain free. Attorney Benjamin Crump shared that <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/attorney-benjamin-crump-breonna-taylors-family-met-with-kentucky-attorney-general-in-hopes-of-finally-arresting-officers-responsible-for-her-death/">he and Breonna’s family met with the Kentucky Attorney General’s office</a> recently, and are hopeful that they are one step closer to justice but so far, no formal charges have been brought forward.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Only one of the officers involved, Brett Hankison, was terminated from his position since the shooting. The other two officers are still employed by the police department.</span></p>
