Breonna Taylor billboard vandalized with red paint

A billboard of Breonna Taylor in her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, was vandalized this week. The billboard, part of a larger campaign demanding justice for Taylor's death, now features a large splatter of paint on her head.

On Tuesday, the billboard, which is near the area of Lexington Road and Spring Street according to CBS Louisville affiliate WLKY-TV, featured red paint, splattered in the center of Taylor's forehead, resembling a bullet wound.

The billboard is among 26 that represent each year of Taylor's life and was erected in and around the city by Oprah Winfrey earlier this month. The image is the same one of Taylor used on the September cover of Winfrey's magazine, marking the first time in the publication's history that someone else other than Winfrey was featured on the cover.

The billboards all have the same clear call to action: "Demand that the police involved in killing Breonna Taylor be arrested and charged."
